What Is Dual Language Learning?

Dual language learning is a model of education where instruction and learning occur in both English and a partner language, with the partner language being used for at least half of the instructional day. While the majority of dual language programs in the United States teach in English and Spanish, there are increasing numbers of programs across the country that include Indigenous and world languages.

Dual language programs typically begin in kindergarten or first grade and extend for at least five years. Many dual language programs continue into middle school and high school.

Dual language education fosters bilingualism, biliteracy, enhanced awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity, and high levels of academic achievement in two languages. Research indicates that in addition to academic and career benefits, bilingual students enjoy increased cognitive flexibility and enriched problem-solving skills.

Are you looking for a framework to support teachers in meaningful instructional planning that includes meeting the diverse needs of your language learners and students who struggle with math? This series of sessions introduces administrators and instructional leaders to the AIM4S³™ framework, providing concrete ideas to build classroom cultures that promote risk-taking and provide equitable access to the mathematical standards for all of our students

Have you heard about Number Talks but haven’t tried them yet or have just dipped your toes in? During this session, you will experience Number Talks as well as see the instructional moves that are key for maximizing the strategy with students. Learn how to build Number Talks into your current routines and unit planners. Classroom demos and individual coaching can be part of this professional development cycle.

Would you like more understanding of the Mathematical Practices, what they are, and how to leverage their importance with students? This session will build a foundation for the Mathematical Practices and give you an opportunity to identify them in action in lessons and student work. Making the Mathematical Practices come to life with your students will not only increase the rigor of instruction in your lessons, but it will also increase student engagement and higher-level thinking.

Participate in a short problem-solving lesson in Spanish to experience sheltering and scaffolding strategies that support English learners in having access to the CCSSM and Mathematical Practices. This session is designed for teachers who have zero to an intermediate level of Spanish. This session will give teachers concrete strategies and instructional moves to give language learners access to projects, 3 Act Tasks, and story problems that you are already using in your classroom. The short lesson will be in Spanish. The reflection and share outs will be in English so participants can fully participate in the professional dialogue.
