World Language and ASL Access for Military Connected Students
Abstract
As a Refugee Resettlement community, Newport News, VA has seen tremendous growth in the number of English learners in the past 10 years. Learning of foreign language in Newport News Public Schools not only opens our students up to wider opportunities in the future, but it improves the quality of communication across our whole community. Through funding from DoDEA, NNPS proposes activities to bolster our PreK, middle school, and high school Dual Language Immersion program, expose students to additional World Languages in sixth grade and international languages, Cultures, and Relations in high school, and for the first time ever offer an American Sign Language rotating resource class in elementary school.
