Excellence in Bilingual Education: A Guide for School Principals

Authors: Peeter Mehisto

Produced with Cambridge International Examinations, this is a practical guide to support school principals in the implementation of bilingual education, and to help schools with an existing bilingual programme to evaluate and improve their practice.

This is the first guide to focus on the development and organisation of a bilingual education programme from the perspective of the school principal. The book suggests how the major stakeholders – principal, teachers, students and parents – can work together effectively as a cohesive team. Drawing on best practice and research, it includes perspectives from school managers and teachers around the world.

This book gives clear advice on how to set up a bilingual programme, and is based on research and experience of good practice. It is part of The Cambridge Teacher Series, edited by senior colleagues at the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education, which has a longstanding tradition of involvement in high quality, innovative teacher education and continuing professional development.
