Developing Resources for Bilingual/Bicultural Education for the Pre-School Aged Puerto Rican Child.
Ibanez de Friedman, Grace
The establishment of bilingual/bicultural programs for Puerto Rican preschool children in the United States is discussed. The rationale for and importance of bilingual education, the training of teachers, and the acquisition of materials and needs assessment are treated in some detail. An extensive outline for curriculum design is presented, and the following curriculum goals are offered: (1) the curriculum should be based on developmental concepts appropriate to pre-school children with attention to their special needs; (2) the appreciation of Puerto Rican and Hispanic culture should be fostered; and (3) insofar as the skill level of the children allows it, language skills in Spanish and English should be emphasized. A lengthy list of bilingual/bicultural resource centers and organizations is included, and several bibliographies are appended. (JB)
