Dual language bilingual program at Evergreen Elementary

This video describes the two-way 50/50 dual language bilingual program at Evergreen Elementary School in the Shelton School District in Shelton Washington. Our school is a combination magnet/neighborhood school with a focus on second language acquisition in English and Spanish. The elementary program has been in existence for 15 years and is currently implemented in grades kindergarten through 5th grades. The program has been extended into Olympic Middle school for sixth and seventh grades and Oakland Bay Junior High school for grade 8 and 9. Our students are taught the adopted district curriculum. The difference is that our students receive both English and Spanish literacy instruction. In addition math is taught in English and Science and social studies in Spanish. An important outcome of our program is that research shows that graduates of dual language enrichment programs achieve two academic grade-levels above the average monolingual English speaking student by 10th grade. More importantly our ELL students are graduating at an 86% rate.
