Background:
|
On June 19, 2014, the Board adopted Resolution 1415R-003, regarding bilingual multicultural education, which calls for Milwaukee Public Schools to establish the equivalent of a target zone that promotes bilingualism by first establishing an English/Spanish and then other bilingual and dual-language programs in the Board’s District 6. Within a reasonable number of years, implementation would occur at the city-wide level until Milwaukee Public Schools becomes a school district in which students will graduate academically prepared in English and Spanish and/or be conversant in another language. The resolution further calls for full engagement of parents, staff, and other community stakeholders.
Since adoption of the resolution, district staff have been working with the community to implement the resolution. This presentation will review current bilingual expansions and language expansions proposed for the 2019-20 school year. Additionally, language-expansion flowcharts for Teaching for Biliteracy and the Seal of Biliteracy will be reviewed. |
