Community-Based Chinese Schools in Southern California: A Survey of Teachers
Liu, Ping
Language, Culture and Curriculum, v19 n2 p237-247 2006
In this study, the author examines the results of questionnaire given to 92 teachers in community-based Chinese schools (CCSs) in Southern California. Information was sought from the teachers on their academic background and aspirations, the reasons for them to choose to teach in the CCSs, and their views on the quality of the education provided by CCSs. The teachers were also asked how they saw the CCSs developing in the future. The paper discusses the findings in detail and their implications for the future of CCSs.
