Head Start Educators’ Beliefs about Bilingualism, Dual Language Development, and Bilingual Education, by Sarah M. Garrity, Cristian R. Aquino-Sterling, and Nina Salcedo-Potter. Bilingual Research Journal.

This study used survey data from a small sample of Head Start educators to understand their beliefs about bilingualism and the factors that influenced them. Results showed that participants exhibited overall favorable views of bilingualism. Participants who spoke more than one language, were born outside of the United States, and reported an ethnicity other than white, demonstrated more favorable views of bilingual education.
