Two-Way Dual Language Enrichment Program

  • Crowley ISD is accepting applications for the Two-Way Dual Language Enrichment Program of English and Spanish instruction for the following students for the 2015-16 school year:

    ·       English speaking students entering Kindergarten

    ·       Spanish speaking students (eligible as Limited English Proficient) who will be entering Kindergarten

    Students should consistently remain in the DLE program through grade 6 to receive the full benefit of the Dual Language Enrichment Program.

     
    Program Design
     
    Students are formally taught to read in their native language in grade 1, and then in grades 2-5 are formally taught to read in both languages by receiving literacy instruction in both languages daily.  Students are taught mathematics through the English language and social studies and science through the Spanish language in grades K (or PK) through grade 6.

    Students participate daily in various methods of bilingual “support” activities designed to develop social and academic bilingualism and bi-literacy as well as academic skills/concepts appropriate for the grade.
