Editing Language immersion (section)

==Implementation==
The task of organizing and creating such a program can be daunting and problematic, with everything from planning to district budget posing issues. One method of implementation proposed by the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition is a phase-in method, which starts with the lowest year participating in the program as the only year and adds a new grade of students into the program each year, working up towards high school.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Barr-Harrison |first1=P. |title=K-12 Immersion Programs: Articulation and Implementation |journal=The ACIE Newsletter |date=1998 |volume=1 |url=https://carla.umn.edu/immersion/acie/vol1/May1998_K12Immersion.html |access-date=11 November 2020}}</ref> 
This slow incorporation of an immersion program is useful for schools with limited funding and those who are skeptical about the benefits of such a program because it allows for yearly evaluation and, if it were to fail from the beginning, the impact of the loss is less significant.

The method of implementation is crucial to the success of the program, as the RAND Institute has concluded that the final result of these programs is positive, but only so long as implemented correctly, meaning consistency and strict adherence to the curriculum in the classroom.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Li |first1=J. |last2=Steele |first2=J. |last3=Slater |first3=R. |last4=Bacon |first4=M. |last5=Miller |first5=T. |title=Implementing Two-Way Dual-Language Immersion Programs |url=https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB9921.html |access-date=11 November 2020}}</ref>
