DEEP COLLABORATION THROUGH LANGUAGE IMMERSION

Collaboration here isn't a buzzword: it's woven into everything we do given that our students in grades N-5 alternate their days between their English and Target Language classrooms.

• Teacher teams composed of English and Spanish teachers or English and Chinese teachers share two classes of students
• Teacher teams share responsibility for teaching curriculum that promotes their students’ social, emotional and academic growth in both languages.
• Given this structure teacher teams communicate daily to plan lessons and discuss student progress
• Additionally teachers collaborate with fellow grade-level and language colleagues during weekly meetings.
