  7. Mission To develop a high level of proficiency in speaking, reading, writing and comprehension in both English and Spanish for English Language Learners (ELL’s) in Pre K-5, while maintaining Spanish language and literacy skills as an enrichment through middle and high school to graduate bilingual, biliterate and bicultural students. Vision • Create a foundation in our economical, technological and multicultural world by: • Preparing students to graduate that are fluent in two languages: English and Spanish. • Preparing students to succeed in any college or university. • Preparing students to succeed in the career of their choice.

  8. Key Strategies/Approaches Dual Language program must be implemented for at least 5-7 years with extensive exposure and use of the two languages. Fidelity to the implementation of the program is required to ensure grade level language development and content learning. Instruction is an enrichment not a remediation which challenges and empowers students with interactive and authentic activities set with high expectations. Success is a result of collaborative ownership and support by administration, staff and members of the community.

  9. Model/Design • Gómez and Gómez 50/50 Dual Language Enrichment Model • Dr. Leo Gómez and Dr. Richard Gómez, Professors in Bilingual/Dual Language Education, have focused their research on language and academic issues that affect Bilingual Learners for over 20 years • They have been extensively involved in the development, implementation and assessment of dual language education programs successfully implementing the Gómez & Gómez Dual Language Enrichment Model, in over 40 districts across Texas alone. • They have also secured, administered and evaluated numerous Title III dual language programs.

  10. Program Implementation District Wide • The One Way Dual Language Program will replace the transitional bilingual program. • Program implementation will continue by adding an additional grade level each year. • The District’s goal is to have full implementation in the elementary schools by the year 2014.
