I will be refining distance education through interactive video and video correspondence to areas such as Deming, Gallup and T or C , NM; and Douglas, AZ. I will include more practical applications in weekly classes.

School visits with presentations to test teaching methods with students pre-K through secondary.

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 the greater part of three days. I also advise in Gallup. The second semester I will have reduced advisement load on main campus in order to do more advisement in Gallup.

I started the Bilingual Education Student Organization in 1992, and have been selected to continue as their advisor this year. I have been selected as the advisor for the LDS Student Association as well each year since 1993. I will meet with BESO monthly during the second semester.

I will submit additional proposals for conference presentations on my research in bilingual education and ESL, including the use of technology such as interactive television teaching. I will attend local, state and national conferences in my field such as the National Association for Bilingual Education and others.

I will continue my research of Hispanic Culture and Spanish language with special emphasis on customs, practices, and songs by sponsoring a traditional music performing group, and publishing teaching materials. I have an additional research project on the Binational school (Palomas/Columbus) in which I document the international collaboration between schools, teachers, and students with video and written products.

I will continue my monthly cultural presentations in the local schools in order to further my knowledge of students and teachers, and to contribute to the orientation of teachers by integrating culture and the arts in the curriculum. I will publish a series of storybooks for children based on the stories I tell in the schools. This is an ongoing project, with additional stories and books each year.

I will assume a major role in the Bilingual Education Program Review mandated by the Board of Regents.

-I will serve a one year term as the president of the Southern New Mexico Consortium for Bilingual/Multicultural Education beginning June, 1996, serve on the board of the New Mexico Association for Bilingual Education beginning July, 1996, and publish the following newsletters: "Bilingual Basics", International TESOl (January and July); "El Noticiero", New Mexico Association for Bilingual Education (quarterly); "El Boletín", Southern New Mexico Consortium for Bilingual/Multicultural Education (quarterly).

-My contribution to the university community includes the organization and direction of musical groups, cultural presentations in the schools, and service as the Stake Sunday School President (church assignment involving orientation of leaders and teachers of 8 units).

I will write one or two grant proposals for funding in areas such as technology in teaching, music and the arts in education, and the Global Language and Culture Institute. The Global Language and Culture Institute will begin an intensive English course this year with my involvement. I will contact the grants officer in regard to possible RFPs.

I will prepare one or more sessions of training in interactive television teaching for the faculty development seminars.

Develop rapport with students as measured by advisement load, BESO membership, LDSSA activity, and student evaluations.

Attend departmental and university meetings and retreats. Hold special meetings with key program and project personnel. Increase interdisciplinary involvement in program and project advisory committees to prepare for NCATE.

I will contribute to discussions on empowerment and interpersonal communications in order to improve relationships and promote better decision making processes on campus, including serving on the Faculty Senate as the SOE representative. I will model team building, collaboration and interactive decision making.

I will collaborate with Deming, Silver, Gallup, and other school districts more intensely to improve WNMU rapport and visibility.
