• Learning must occur through valuable and meaningful experiences.
• Learning must engage students’ unique gifts, passions and rights.
• Students learn best in heterogeneous settings using collaborative grouping and a variety of instructional approaches.
• Fluency in more than one language is an asset for the student, the school and the community.
• Language learning promotes awareness and tolerance of other cultures.<./li>
• Teachers have greater commitment to the school when their roles become that of counselors, advisors and facilitators.
• Sharing responsibilities as members of the school community creates a supportive learning environment.
