Part 2, "Educational Perspectives, " presents five papers relevant to practitioners. Topics are specific to teaching and learning and include language use in bilingual classrooms, parents ' and educators' opinions about bilingual education, language and culture maintenance, cognitive development of minority children, and a model for teacher supervision in bilingual programs. In the third and final part, "Policy Issues, " three papers provide projections on ethnolinguistic group populations, institutionalization of bilingual education, and an analysis of the political context of bilingual education.
