Tool Search: Dual Language Immersion (DLI)
The Dual Language Immersion tool is used to manage records used to track and report data for students who are participating in language immersion programs. This includes information and results for DLI assessments stored in Campus. See the Assessment Center - Test Detail article for information on how to create an assessment aligned to DLI: Dual Language.
Schools in states using this tool should follow state guidelines regarding who should be added to this program and how data is to be collected and reported. Fields vary by state. Please see your state's State Tools articles for more information on DLI procedures in your state.
