Bridge to Bi-Literacy
Abstract
The project objectives are to increase the number of Spanish language learning opportunities and to bolster the rigor of offerings to better develop students’ language proficiency. Key activities include providing high-quality professional development; executing an elementary immersion model with at least 50% of course content delivered in Spanish; creating and offering new rigorous coursework at the secondary school level; and offering a Summer Immersion Camp. Project outcomes include teachers will be prepared to implement the program, as measured by self-reported skill and confidence levels; 60% or more of elementary immersion students will show at least typical or moderate growth in their Spanish language proficiency; and 60% or more of secondary students will score an ‘A’ or ‘B’ on semester exams for Bridge to Bi-literacy courses.
