1. Two-way Immersion (TWI) Toolkit
   E. R. Howard, J. Sugarman, M. Perdomo, and T. T. Adger, 2005
   
   
   This Toolkit is designed to meet the growing demand from teachers, administrators, and parents for guidance related to the effective implementation of TWI programs. Although the Toolkit is primarily intended to support teachers, administrators, and parents who are new to two-way immersion, those with experience in TWI may also find the Toolkit useful. The Toolkit is composed of three segments: program design and planning, classroom instruction, and parental involvement. The pages that specifically address late entry into TWI programs are 50-52.
