Background:
|
On June 19, 2014, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors adopted Resolution 1415R–003, regarding bilingual multicultural education. This Resolution promotes bilingualism through the implementation of essential aspects to enhance our one-way and two-way dual-language programs. Our goals are that students graduate academically prepared in English and Spanish, conversant in other languages, and capitalize on the cultural and linguistic backgrounds of all English Learner students (ELs). Another important component of the Resolution is encouraging the participation of parents, staff, and other community stakeholders.
Since the adoption of the Resolution, district staff has been working with the community to implement the Resolution. This presentation will provide a brief overview regarding the Resolution’s essential aspects, programs that are housed in the Bilingual Multicultural Department, progress, and next steps. |
