Diane J. Tedick CoBaLTT Project Coordinator Immersion Projects Faculty Coordinator Diane (Dee) Tedick is an Associate Professor in Second Languages and Cultures Education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Minnesota. A teacher educator, Professor Tedick focuses on the professional development of both preservice and inservice teachers representing a variety of second language teaching contexts: world languages, English as a second language, and bilingual and immersion programs. She has worked on a wide range of teacher development projects within CARLA including the Minnesota Articulation Project, the Critical Languages Project, the POLIA (Proficiency-Oriented Language Instruction and Assessment) Train-the-Trainer program, and several initiatives related to immersion education, including the development of a national network for immersion teachers (American Council on Immersion Education) and research on immersion teaching. Diane Tedick is currently the coordinator for the Content-Based Language Teaching through Technology (CoBaLTT) Project and the faculty coordinator for Immersion Projects housed at CARLA.  Her main research interest focuses on the pedagogy required for the successful integration of language and content instruction, particularly in language immersion contexts, where a world language (e.g., French, Spanish, Yup’ik) is used as the vehicle for teaching academic subject matter. She is also interested in teacher development in second language contexts and teacher development in relation to diverse student populations.
