Chinese Program Survey
|
We are working with our colleague Lynn Lin of the Lycee Francais to collect information about average classtime in Chinese programs in K-12 schools. Please take the time to help a fellow teacher by filling out this survey before our next forum. We will share the results with you in future newsletters and at our April 11 forum.
