1

1 schools every year of elementary school, one (1) year in middle school and one (1) year

5 courses throughout elementary and middle school, and to require a second year of

6 Chamorro language and culture courses at the high school level.

11 secondary schools within Guam, in the following three (3) categories: Beginning

12 Chamorro (Introduction to Chamorro Language); Intermediate Chamorro (Basic

13 Usage and Application of the Chamorro Language); and Advanced Chamorro

14 (Conversational Chamorro ).

15 The Department shall establish a program and reqmre six ( 6) years

16 mandatory course work in the Chamorro language and culture in the public

17 elementary schools; mandatory course work in the Chamorro language and

18 culture in the sixth (6th) grade in the middle schools, with the seventh (7th) grade

19 to be included by School Year 2013-2014, and the eighth (8th) grade to be

20 included to the program by School Year 2014-2015; and mandatory course work

21 in the Chamorro language and culture in the ninth (9th) grade in the high schools,

23 2015. The Board may accelerate the timeline of the program at the

24 recommendation of the Department. An articulated curriculum shall be developed

Testimony on Bill 95-31, Relative to Expanding the Chamorro Language and Culture Curriculum in Public Schools; Bill 87-31, Relative to Requiring Sufficient Classrooms for Chamorro Language and Culture courses in Every Public School; Bill98-31, Relative to the Awarding of the Dr. Antonio C. Yamashita Teacher Corps Scholarship to Chamorro Language and Culture Studies at the University of Guam

Buenas yan Hafa Adai Senators,

I espiriton I manaina-ta u gaige giya hamyo. Hu tuna todos hamyo! Thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony on Bill 95-31, /{An act to amend §8103(A), Chapter 8, Title 17 of the Guam Code Annotated relative to Expanding the Chamorro Language and Culture Curriculum in Public Schools," Bill 87-31 "An act to amend §9107 Title 17 of the Guam Code Annotated, relative to requiring sufficient classrooms for Chamorro Language and Culture courses in every public school," and Bill 98-31 /{An act to amend §151311, add a new §151311.1 and delete §15307 (C), all of Chapter 15, Article 13 of Title 17 Guam Code Annotated relative to the awarding of the Dr. Antonio C. Yamashita Teacher Corps Scholarship to Chamorro Language and Culture studies at the University of Guam." The Department of Education (DOE) supports Bill 95-31, 87-31, and 98-31 in theory, for it will

help carry out the Chamorro Studies & Special Projects Division's mission to ensure effective Chamorro Language and Culture instruction. I want to express appreciation to Speaker Won Pat and Senator Mana Silva Taijeron for introducing Bills that are clearly intended to further enhance our children's ability to use and understand the Chamorro language. As a speaker of a language other than English, which in my case is Visayan, and as an avid continuing learner of the Chamorro language, I cannot underscore enough the importance of providing our students the opportunity to be proficient speakers of the Chamorro language. Being bi-lingual just brings richness to our human experience and relationships. One of my fondest memories as a child has been my mother telling me bed time stories in lllongo. As an adult, one of the best times I have with my husband is when I ask him to tell me stories in Chamorro and I translate the story. Lately, he has had pretty good laughs as I practice reading stories written in Chamorro. This is in preparation as a celebrity reader for students next week.

But as with all our best intentions with policies, successful implementation is dependent on having adequate resources and support. Specifically, there are three factors that will affect the successful implementation of Bills 95-31, 87-31, and 98-31:

1. Chamorro Teacher Recruitment/Retention to ensure sufficient supply of certified Chamorro teachers

2. Adequate financial resources for additional classrooms, collateral equipment, supplies and materials

3. Public Acceptance

Teacher Recruitment/ Retention Currently, there is a shortage of Chamorro language teachers in the elementary, middle, and high. There are 135 Chamorro language teachers providing instruction in all forty (40) schools. Of the 135, ninety-seven (97} are in the elementary schools, twenty-one (21) Chamorro teachers in the middle schools, and seventeen (17) Chamorro teachers in the high schools. Through the passing of Bill 98-31, there will be a greater opportunity for new

2

and existing teachers to fill this demanding need for certified and fully degreed Chamorro language teachers.

However, with the passage of Bill 95-31, which modifies the curriculum to increase the number of years students are required to take Chamorro Language, DOE will be required to recruit fifty-two (52) additional Chamorro language teachers. This does not include the number of teachers that will leave the schools through attrition. Using a conservative rate of 5% (7 teachers), DOE would need to recruit a total of fifty-eight (59) additional teachers. At an annual salary of $29,865.00 (Entry Level Teacher II), this translates to an increase of $1.5 million for personnel costs. (Note: This does not include Hay Salary and Benefits).

The Chamorro Language and Culture Teaching Degree program, requires existing Chamorro teachers to complete 139 credit hours and pass the Praxis test, to receive full certification. This is significantly more credits required in contrast to the other educational degree programs that only require 124 credits for students to graduate. Teachers without certification are not eligible to receive the additional 14% and those with a lapsed certification have to pay it back. These factors have created disincentives for veteran Chamorro teachers to remain in the program. To date, DOE has lost 10 Chamorro teachers.

Facilities/Equipment/Resources DOE currently has a total of 135 Chamorro teachers. Of this total there are only 96 classrooms that are identified for Chamorro teachers. With the passage of Bill 87-31, which requires a classroom to be provided for each Chamorro Language teacher, DOE will need an additional 39 classrooms. Based on an estimated cost of $85,000 per classroom, an additional $3.3 million for additional classrooms will be needed.

Bill 95-31 requires students to take additional years of Chamorro Language instruction in the middle and high school. This means that we will need to

3

hire an additional 52 Chamorro Language teachers, thereby increasing the need for additional classrooms to 91, resulting in $7.7 million needed for facilities. Collateral equipment to equip these classrooms will cost an estimated $1.3 million. And of course, we know that teaching and learning must be supported with textbooks, supplies, and materials. This is estimated to cost $716,300.00

Public Acceptance Based on feedback gathered from high school administrators, an additional year of Chamorro instruction can result in the following:

1. Change of Board Policy 351.4, which will require increasing the number of credits to graduate from 24 to 25; or

2. Reduction of electives, to make room for Chamorro Language and still maintain the 24 credit requirement; or

3. Increase in the number of instructional minutes, which will result in a longer school day.

For example, students seeking to take an additional world language course to meet college entrance requirements or those seeking a Career and Technical Education certificate of mastery through the Guam Community College would not be able to take those courses given a 3X3 block schedule. The district would have to resort to a 4X4 schedule for all public high schools. Furthermore, a reduction of student enrollment in other curricular programs like business, fine arts, and practical arts would result in a reduction of teachers needed in those areas.

The requirement of two (2) additional years of Chamorro instruction is supported by middle school principals but implementation will require a significant change in Board Policy 338 (Middle School Curriculum Requirements). The current middle school curriculum allows students to complete exploratory courses in the areas of art, band, choir, and career academy. However, with the requirement of two (2) additional years of

4

Chamorro language instruction, the exploratory courses will decrease. One way of addressing this dilemma would be to increase the number of instructional minutes in the school day.

Elementary School administrators are in full support of all three bills. None of the bills impact the elementary curricular program because students are receiving Chamorro language instruction in all grade levels (K-5).

In closing, DOE is in full support of Bills 95-31, 87-31, and 98-31 and will work collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure successful implementation. We want our students to be proficient in Chamorro. We want Chamorro to be spoken as much as we speak English. We want Chamorro to be alive in future generations. But we can't accomplish this on our own. We are prepared to engage in further discussions on how to achieve our goal. However, the current shortage of certified teachers coupled with the increased demand will make it difficult for DOE to meet the 2013 timeline. We need everyone's help. Si Yu'os Ma'ase!

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT UOG Station, Mangilao, Guam 96923

Telephone: (671) 735-2990 • Fax: (671) 734-2296

The Honorable Judith T. Won Pat Speaker, 31 51 Guam Legislature 155 Hesler Place Hagatiia, Guam 96910

Dear Madam Speaker and Chairwoman of the Education Committee and Members of the legislature,

1 am presenting my ideas on the proposed legislation regarding changes to the Chamorro language

education program and the supply of teachers. I am presenting my ideas primarily as a long time

professional educator in bilingual education and not as President of the University of Guam. However, I

recognize that these two are inseparable as I make these remarks. My remarks are not meant to

commit the University to a plan of action, but to highlight some possible ways of moving forward that

are within our purview.

I first started teaching In the Bilingual Bicultural Training Program at the University of Guam in 1976.

Subsequently, I became Project Director of the program and organized several training institutes for

bilingual educators and second language teachers in Guam and throughout Micronesia. I also

conceptualized and managed the Bilingual Education Assistance for Micronesia (Project BEAM) which

operated three field offices and taught hundreds of teachers over the years. Along the way, I was also

Chairman of the Chamorro language Commission for over a decade and managed the process of

standardization and growth of the Commission as a functioning government entity. I eventually retired

from the University after serving as Dean of the College of Education and Academic Vice President. I was

awarded the status of Professor Emeritus of Bilingual Bicultural Education after my retirement. I am the

only one who has ever received this title.

One of the great passions in my life is the preservation of the Chamorro language. I have spent more

time thinking about the future of Chamorro than any other single issue in my public and professional

life. As a child, my knowledge of Chamorro was clearly inferior to my competence in English. I spent

much of childhood in California and only became reacquainted with the everyday use of Chamorro when

I came back as an 11th grader. I devoted myself to enhancing my competence in Chamorro and

eventually became perceived as an authority in the Chamorro language, a status that would have

shocked me if I had been told when I was 10 years old that one day I would be seen as a Chamorro

language expert

I give this extended view of my personal history and commitment for two reasons. First of all, I want to

establish the basis of my commitment to the maintenance of Chamorro. The language is the clearest link

to our continuing identity and existence as a people. It is more important than dancing, eating, singing

A U.S. Land Grant Institution accredited by the Western Association of Schools f:t Cotle~es . - . -

or wearing island wear. These are important too, but they are meaningless without knowledge of the

language. Secondly, it is possible for little children and young adults to become Chamorro language

experts in spite of their early childhood experiences. I think that I am proof of that today.

Our main focus has to be on the preservation and maintenance of the Chamorro language and the

continuation of a Chamorro language speaking community. It is possible to attempt this through

legislation, but in the end it may not be successful. It is possible to attempt this by mandating that

everyone take Chamorro and expect that enough speakers will emerge out of this experience to sustain

a Chamorro speaking community. This is like requiring chemistry in the middle and high school and then

expecting chemists to suddenly emerge.

I support the bills that are before the Legislature. But the real issue before us is not how many more

mandates we can make or how many more classrooms we can build? These will help support a process,

but it does not get to the matter of who is going to be teaching Chamorro and who is going to be

learning and using Chamorro so that it has a chance at survival. Language loss was the great cultural

phenomenon of the 20th century and it will be greater still in the 21st if we do not take steps to mitigate

the loss and sustain a community of Chamorro language speakers. Less we think that language loss is

inevitable like the onset of high tide; there are examples in Hawaii and New Zealand where language

communities have been revived even though Hawaiian and Maori were under greater stress than

Chamorro in the 20th century. They are making a comeback and so can we.

The real issue before us is how can we provide enough Chamorro language teachers to make the

teaching and learning of Chamorro viable for the next decade? There are three concerns related to the

supply of Chamorro language teachers. The first is where we are going to find them. Secondly, how are

they going to be trained and what kind of incentives are we going to give them. Lastly, what will their

status be inside the teaching profession? How will we certify them?

In order to provide for Chamorro language instruction as envisioned in these new legislative mandates, 1

estimate that we will need to recruit and train at least 200 Chamorro language teachers in the course of

the next decade. We have to find speakers of all ages or develop them and we have to make sure that

we have a sufficient pool of recruits in order to produce 200 highly qualified professional teachers of

Chamorro. In order to make this pool possible, I recommend two strategies.

First, I recommend that we as a community embark on a recruiting drive to find 25-50 individuals adult

speakers or even near-speakers and give them new scholarships with the expectation that they become

fully certified professional teachers within the next 3-5 years. We could add 5-10 every year as some

graduate and enter the profession. Some of the recruits could be school aides, some could be clerks, and

some could be accountants looking for a new challenge. They should be appropriately tested for their

Chamorro competence and, if they are found lacking they should be placed in a Chamorro Language

Academy where their competence and fluency could be enhanced dramatically.

Secondly, we must establish two kinds of immersion programs. First, we establish a Chamorro Language

Academy for adults who have varying degrees of proficiency so that they can become fluent speakers.

This will not be inexpensive and will require significant time commitment. If we had such an academy

every summer for 4-6 weeks, the fluency of many adult speakers will be enhanced significantly, they will

better understand how to learn Chamorro and it will prepare them for the instructional use of

Chamorro.

The other kind of immersion program has to be established inside K-12. Through legislation, authorize

the Department of Education to establish Chamorro language immersion programs on a voluntary basis

in selected schools. At first, the numbers will be small. However, over the course of 10 years, hundreds

of fluent speakers of Chamorro will replace the thousands of rote speakers of Chamorro who can tell

you where their apaga is, but can't answer the question "hafa tatatmanu si nana-mu?" We cannot wait

for charter schools. Develop the legislation now to authorize DOE to work with UOG and GCC to

establish these programs now and adequately fund them. GCC produces early childhood education

workers and UOG produces the bulk of the teachers on-island. Both need to be involved.

If these two measures are accomplished, we will make greater strides towards the maintenance of

Chamorro language than anything else I can think of. All the feel good programs and all the Chamorro

meses in the world won't do it. We need fluent speakers and we must take the steps to develop them

now.

The University, with some dedicated funding, could be asked to assist, coordinate and/or manage an

adult Chamorro academy. This can be done with the Department of Chamorro Affairs and other

agencies The President may even be willing to reprogram some existing funds for this purpose because

he believes in it so much.

After we recruit and thereby ensure a steady supply of fluent Chamorro speakers through immersion

programs, we must take on the issue of training. The University of Guam will work on ensuring that

there is equity in the unit requirements for Chamorro language teaching, but I don't want the University

to be part of a training effort that reduces the basic requirements for Chamorro teachers below the

requirements for all other teachers. The teaching profession is moving towards greater and greater

requirements for teachers ensuring that every adult professional that our children face understands the

depth of their content subject, the intricacies of teaching and learning and the unique characteristics of

children appropriate to their age and the nature of the communities they come from. They must also

possess communicative and computational skills that we expect of all teachers. We will continue this

process because our children deserve the best and because Chamorro language teaching deserves the

best.

This is related to my final point which is the treatment of Chamorro language teachers within the

profession of teaching. There is always much discussion of grandfathering incumbent Chamorro

language teachers and giving them special status or temporary teaching certificates. These are

essentially the same arguments I heard when I first started training bilingual teachers over 30 years ago.

Some of the arguments are being made by the same people. Helping an individual teacher here and

there is appropriate, but there are consequences to seeing the entire group of Chamorro language

teachers as a special category which is exempt from certification and professional requirements made of

all other teachers. When we allow this to go on for decades, we do little to reward those who actually

made the effort to complete all requirements. We also make the claims for "equal" treatment in

classrooms and supplies and professional regard difficult to sustain. let's identify the few teachers who

cannot possibly meet the requirements and give them a time certain. We can reasonably identify that

time in collaboration with the Education Certification Board. But I urge you not to do it through

legislation. If you do this through legal mandates, the meaning of professional certification by an

independent board- a board independent of the training authority (primarily the University) and the

hiring authority (primarily DOE) will have been seriously diluted.

As a final thought, everyone should consider the educational impact and community acceptance of a

new mandate. We will create displacement of other curricular requirements whenever we authorize

new mandates and new programs. There are hundreds of parents who will not be enthusiastic about

seeing their middle school child required to take three years of Chamorro language which may reduce

the number of electives. The number of high school credits required to graduate will increase or

electives may be displaced. As enthusiastic as I am about Chamorro and I am sure you are, parental

notification, participation and involvement cannot be ignored not just in implementation, but in law

making.

I stand ready to be of assistance in this very important endeavor. Put fa bot, hasso hafa i kondision-na i

Sincerely,

Robert A. Underwood

To: Senator Mana Silva Taijeron Guam 31st Legislature

From: Dr. Mary L. Spencer MARC, University of Guam

I support your initiative to extend Chamorro language instruction at the high school level. My position on this is based on my previous academic and language research experience. I served as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences for 13 years, and prior to that was the Director of the Micronesian Language Institute at UOG, which is now part of MARC. In June 2009 I retreated to my research faculty position so I could return to my research agenda. It is important for students to take course work in languages other than English while in high school.

The investment of academic time in Chamorro language or other modem languages is integral to students' liberal arts studies and prepares them for college. The Chamorro language is a recognized modern language at many universities, including the University of Guam. The UOG General Education requirement for graduation (applicable to all UOG students) is 8 credit hours of a modem language; or the ability to either prove proficiency equivalent to completion of one year of college course work in the language, or equivalent experience in pre-college coursework in which the specific modern language was the medium of instruction (e.g., having successfully completed multiple years of elementary school in another country in which instruction was conducted completely in a non-English language).

At the University of Guam, we teach many sections ofChamorro 101 and 102 every semester. Moreover, the popularity of this course (although courses in other languages are available) means that we can never seem to offer enough sections. During enrollment, the sections fill up rapidly and we must refer students to other courses or ask them to wait. We also offer a minor in Chamorro Studies, and the requirements of the minor include Chamorro language. Chamorro language courses are taught at the 100, 200, and 300 level at UOG. In the School of Education, other Chamorro language oriented degree work is long standing. At the graduate level, we offer a Master of Arts in the Micronesian Studies Program, which has a language proficiency requirement. Quite a few of our students seek to satisfy that requirement with Chamorro language proficiency. College work in the Chamorro language would benefit from more instructional opportunities in the K-12 years.

I recommend that you consider the benefits that high school preparation in Chamorro language proficiency has for college preparation. One aspect to be explored is that it could be one of multiple nonEnglish language options for a student to select for modem language requirements or strands. In this way, there would not be a charge that the school day must be made longer, or that the course competed with other content areas. One particular intra-curriculum gap that such coursework needs to address is that of Chamorro language composition (essays, poetry, etc.), although sustaining the traditional oral language proficiencies is also critical.

I agree with the PDN editorial's emphasis on the need for program evaluation; although I disagree with the position that evaluation is a pre-requisite. Evaluation and high school Chamorro language course work can be implemented simultaneously.

It would be good for the program to have a regular system of program evaluation. Since the program is legally mandated by the Guam Legislature and the Governor, perhaps it would be appropriate for an

evaluation requirement to become a regulatory mechanism attached to those laws. Student language proficiency associated with the program needs to be planned and periodically documented. In association with this, process evaluation should occur which helps document the conditions under which Chamorro instruction is provided. I have observed Chamorro language classroom instruction periodically over the years. It must be recognized that such instruction is not well accommodated in our public schools. There are no permanent rooms where it occurs and teachers must "float." This means that they must carry whatever instructional materials they have from room to room throughout the day. As new schools are being designed and built, this situation should be reversed. Program evaluation could help document the variables in Chamorro language instructional contexts, instructional materials, and professional development needs, as well as student growth on Chamorro language content standards. My personal view is that the lack of systematic evaluation, and subsequent response to evaluation fmdings, is part of the pattern of disrespect that seems to permeate the treatment of Chamorro language instruction. Professionalization of matters of instructional context, materials, professional development, and student learning outcomes is no less than we would expect for any of our respected academic subjects.

Funds need to be set aside for evaluation research, but these are not huge amounts ... something comparable to the program evaluation funding for USDOE bilingual education programs at a local level. It would be appropriate to know the extent to which federal funds are available to help support evaluation and research of this type. GDOE program members and UOG faculty have had some earlier discussions about evaluation. A collaboration of GDOE Chamorro language program specialists and UOG Chamorro language specialists and researchers could do wonders.

Thank you for addressing Chamorro language instructional needs.
