Report with Possible Action Regarding Bilingual Education
Through Administrative Policy 7.15 the Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes, endorses, and approves the implementation of bilingual education kindergarten through grade 12. This policy promotes bilingualism through the enhancement of one-way and two-way bilingual dual language programs.
The goals related to bilingual education are designed for students to attain high levels of bilingualism and biliteracy, high levels of academic achievement in both languages (Spanish and English), and sociocultural competence.
The presentation will define bilingual education, program goals, pedagogical framework, language allocation, content allocation, fidelity of implementation, and detail bilingual program schools. |
