Increasing Student Achievement Through Supporting English Language Learners

<p>The purpose of this advocacy document is to demonstrate the need for a policy to implement a two-way immersion program in Spanish and English. The intent of this policy is to provide opportunities for students to be successful in a global society, acquire a second language, and develop a strong global awareness. This advocacy document includes an analysis of the educational, economic, social, political, moral, and ethical need for the policy change. The primary needs addressed through research are the ability to implement strong instructional practices of language development for English as a Second Language (ESL) student and to develop biliterate students. A review of current and past practices for supporting ESL students, as well as a tentative budget and implementation plan, are also included.</p>
