This statement, designed primarily to apply to teachers of bilingual-bicultural education in the United States of America, is intended to assist teacher certification agencies and educational institutions in the establishment of certification standards for bilingual-bicultural education teachers, and in the design and evaluation of bilingual-bicultural teacher programs. The statement (1) describes the personal qualities and minimum professional competencies necessary for the successful teacher and (2) sets forth the guidelines considered essential in designing teacher training programs in bilingual-bicultural education. These guidelines were developed at a conference of specialists in bilingual education sponsored by the Center for Applied Linguistics, August 5-6, 1974. (Author/KM)
