There are two TWI classes in grades kindergarten through 3rd and then one class in grades 4th through 6th. In the TWI classes, students not only learn to become biliterate and bilingual, but they also gain a comprehensive understanding of both languages cultures and history. Our district, Livingston Union School District, has a full dual language program at three elementary schools, Campus Park, Selma Herndon, Yamato Colony and at the middle school, Livingston Middle School. DMS provides a continuation of the TWI program at Osborn Elementary School. Our Immersion students attend 2 periods of English Language Arts, 1 period of Spanish Language Arts and 1 period of History taught in Spanish. Math, Science and PE are taught in English. Our goal is to prepare our students for the rigor of advance Spanish classes in high school. The Two-Way Bilingual Immersion Program's goal at Ewing Elementary is to prepare students to become bilingual and biliterate, succeed academically, and develop positive cross cultural relations. Two-Way Immersion English speaking students become proficient in Spanish and Spanish speaking students become proficient in English while maintaining their native language. 4 P a g e

Students will develop high levels of proficiency in their first language. This goal means that native English speakers will develop high levels of listening, speaking, reading, and writing ability in Englihs and English language learners will develop these same abilities in their native language (e.g, Spanish). Santa Fe Elementary Dual Language Academy is a twoway immersion school within the Porterville Unified School District. Santa Fe s Two Way Language Immersion program offers students the unique and exciting opportunity to read, write, and communicate naturally in both Spanish and English. Dual immersion produces bilingual, biliterate students, by immersing them in a second language, when their young minds have the greatest aptitude for language development. Sunset Two Way Immersion Charter School is one of three Dual Immersion schools in Fresno Unified. Sunset serves students in grades Pre K 8th and is solely a Two Way School with no English only classrooms. Our program is a 90-10 model that serves children from eight neighboring school districts that include Carruthers, Central, Clovis, Kerman, Riverdale, Sanger, Selma, and Washington Union. The Dual Immersion Program, provides an immersion model for English- speaking students and a bilingual model for Spanish-speaking students. The goal of the program is to promote fluency and comprehension in both Spanish and English for all participating students. Our program is committed to develop literacy in both languages.

Descripciones de tareas Canciones de niños en español Stanley & Yolanda Lucero Las canciones y juegos para los niños Hispanos es nuestro tesoro de nuestra herencia cultural. Por generaciones los niños han gozado de la música y han aprendido a apreciar su propia cultura. En los programa duales, los niños de habla inglés también aprecian la cultura Hispana. Edificando el estimo propio y la cultura en el hogar Yolanda Lucero Lectura Crítica: Valores y comprensión de textos a un nivel más profundo Dr. Glenn DeVoogd A través de actividades, libros, la práctica, y el dialogo, los participantes aprenderán como ayudar sus estudiantes a comprender textos a un nivel más profundo. Qué hace Ud. cuando los estudiantes comprenden muy poco lo que leen? En este taller, repasaremos los puntos más importantes en la pedagogía de comprensión de textos y aprenderemos acerca de la comprensión crítica. Aunque la mayoría de los estudiantes puedan escribir resúmenes de un texto, pocos pueden analizar o entender el propósito del autor. Esto es muy importante porque los textos, las fotos, las canciones, y las películas, en el mundo de hoy, implícitamente, esconden valores de los autores que puedan manipular y/o decepcionar a nuestros estudiantes. Entonces primeramente es importante que los estudiantes comprendan el texto, pero también es importante que puedan identificar y analizar los valores y el subtexto que existe en el texto. Si los estudiantes no reconocen valores en textos en este tiempo de mucho información los ciudadanos, van a estar manipulados por todos los medios de información. Si no rompemos esa perspectiva de los textos y si no creamos alternativas siempre vamos a estar encarcelados en la perspectiva del libro, de otros - y nunca seremos libres. 18 P a g e
