FROM OUR PARTNERS

DLBE School Climate Study Needs Your Input
Biola University, CA invites you to participate in a 10 minute survey on DLBE program/school climates. There are no easy answers to resolve tensions in DLBE, but your experience and wisdom can offer a first step to finding ways to address the issues that schools face in maintaining a positive, nurturing environment. This survey seeks to identify general challenges for DLBE programs and specific causes for tensions with non-DLBE teachers, as well as both tried and proposed solutions.

|
Results will be shared at the NABE Conference in February 2025, possibly at DLeNM's La Cosecha, and through other DLBE and professional networks.
