Bilingual/ESOL
Programs at Davis Elementary
Bilingual Education
The
bilingual program is a full-time instructional program in which both the
students’ home language and English are used for instruction. Students
study the same curriculum as the English-speaking students. The only difference
is that both languages are used for instruction. The primary goal of bilingual
education is to enable students of limited English proficiency to become
competent in the English language and to have an EQUAL opportunity to
master grade level essential elements using their first language while
they are acquiring English.
