New Preparation for these existing courses to include a fresh approach, a reconsideration of each existing syllabus, input for course content from students, program faculty and outside consultants, and the adaptation of course content for diverse student needs, including teacher education students from Southern New Mexico and Arizona, West Texas, and the Navajo/Hispanic/Anglo mix of Magdalena.

I have arranged my office hours in the evening to match the schedules of the teachers. Also, I am in my office with the door open most days.

I have assisted the Bilingual Education Student Organization to get started Fall 1992, and have been elected as their advisor.

Due to a large increase in new students in bilingual and ESL this year, there is an extra large advisement load for a while.

I have a goal to submit the results of previous research for publication. I will submit some proposals for conference presentations on my research. I will attend local, state and national conferences in my field.

I will begin gathering information and ideas for a study of bilingual education policy and practice in this area.

I expect to submit several grant proposals.
I expect to publish a new book of songs and cultural ideas for the schools based on my research.

I plan to be the catalyst for the initiation of a professional organization in bilingual education at the local level and to continue my activity in the state and national bilingual organizations, as well as membership in several others.

I teach a daily early morning high school scripture class, lead a church choir, sing in the community choir, and give cultural presentations in the schools.

I administer a federally funded teacher training program at Western New Mexico University as 1/2 of my load. We fund 50 students each semester to take courses at WNMU.

Develop rapport with students as measured by BESO membership and student evaluations.

Attend departmental and university meetings. Hold special meetings with key program and project personnel. Activate program and project advisory committees to reduce severe communication disorder now present.
