  IMMERSION PROGRAM

 TRANSLATING PLANS INTO ACTION
        IN HOUSTON ISD
3 MAJOR CONCERNS

STAFFING
 First priority: Securing strong elementary school
  teachers
 Secondary priority: Chinese language certification

MARKETING
 Defining our market – who is our school meant for?
 Ensure our market understands what makes us
  unique.
