| In 1987, a small group of determined advocates for German in the elementary schools developed a plan to support the advocacy of German in grades K-8. With generous funding by the Ständige Arbeitsgruppe Deutsch als Fremdsprache (StADaF) from the German government, and the Goethe-Institut, the Kinder lernen Deutsch (KLD) Steering Committee has made great progress in many directions. | |
