"...we have instituted a way of following the students as they move through our programs to see where they are, what they're having difficulty with on the exams, to provide them support for those areas and to get their scores up to a passing score on each of those exams so that they can move through. And that's really our goal here. We want to prepare the best teachers that we can to be culturally relevant, culturally sustaining language, relevant language, sustaining bilingual, knowing the communities, knowing the families working in schools that they come from." -- Christian Faltis, Ph.D., College of Education, TAMIU
