My name is Jane Montes. I am an assistant professor at Northeastern
Illinois University, Chicago, IL in the Bilingual Education Department of
the Division of Teacher Education. Recently NEIU received a Title VII
teacher training grant of which I am Co-director.

I am interested in curriculum infusion of bilingual education issues in
the methods courses of teacher-training programs of such
as Elementary Education and Special Education. Naturally this involves
collaborating with the instructors of the courses. I am in search of
programs that are actually doing such curriculum infusion.

The works of Vygotsky, Howard Gardner, Robert Sternberg, and Donald Graves
are of particular interest to me because their theories/philosophies and
research truly encompass the social, emotional, and academic needs
of all students.
