Evaluating dual language programs is crucial in identifying areas that need improvement and measuring progress toward program goals. Continuous improvement and evaluation of dual language programs are essential to ensure that students receive quality education and support. By measuring progress and making changes where necessary, educators can provide students with the best possible learning experience and help them achieve academic success.
