World Language Plus
Abstract
- Coronado Unified School District is a preschool through 12th grade district serving Naval Base Coronado. Student enrollment is 3,101; 41% of the students are military dependent. The goal of Project World Language Plus (WL+) is to establish, expand, and improve world language study for military-connected grade TK-12 students in world language skills and cultural knowledge capability and capacity. Project WL+ will establish a world language TK-12 pathway in order to graduate students who are globally competent and equipped with proficient world language skills. At the elementary level, a weekly Spanish exposure program will be established, with expanding opportunities for students as they enter middle and high school. Implementation involves hiring world language teachers; purchasing authentic Spanish and French language classroom libraries/curriculum; providing professional development, initiating the Avant STAMP 4S assessment system; exploring opportunities such as dual enrollment and real world language experiences; and increasing stakeholder engagement. The expected outcomes of Project WL+ are increased motivation of military connected students to enroll in world language courses at the secondary level and ultimately earn the State Seal of Biliteracy upon graduation.
