Today, more than ever, 21st century learners need access to multilingual instruction and the opportunity to understand diverse perspectives and cultures (Goldenberg & Wagner, 2015). As the need for bilingual and dual language immersion classrooms continues to grow, the characteristics of quality bilingual teachers have emerged as the key to an effective program (Alfaro, 2017; Ovando, 2003). The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to address the shortage of qualified bilingual teachers in the American education system by examining the recruitment, training, and retention practices in school systems with model bilingual programs in order to apply best practices at American international schools. Additionally, the qualities and characteristics of bilingual teachers at a private international school in Southeast Asia were examined in regards to institutional practices related to the recruitment, training, and retention of bilingual teachers. Finally, the institutional practices were compared to peer international schools and U.S. public schools with successful bilingual programs. Guided by a conceptual framework based on the work of Alfaro (2017), the researcher gathered data through document analysis and semi-structured interviews with school administrators. Transcripts of interviews were coded and organized into emerging themes. Nine recommendations emerged as a result of the study: (1) balancing internal versus external candidates, (2) initiating a headhunting mentality for recruitment, (3) expanding bilingual certifications, (4) considering a 50/50 program model, (5) exploring alternative candidate pathways, (6) recruiting at national conferences, (7) collaborating with peer international schools, (8) developing the role of teachers on special assignment, and (9) forming university partnerships.
