Background
:
In June 2014, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors adopted Resolution 1415R-003 regarding bilingual multicultural education. The Board's action promotes bilingualism through the implementation of essential aspects to enhance our one-way and two-way dual-language programs.
Our goals related to bilingual education 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 Board's action is encouraging the participation of parents, staff, and other community stakeholders. To that end, the District Multicultural Multilingual Advisory Council (DMMAC) is supporting these efforts.
Since the Board's action, district staff has been working with the community to implement the resolution. This presentation will provide a brief overview regarding progress and next steps.
