K-5 Implements a 50-50 model for instruction.  Monday - Friday, students spend 50% of their day immersed in English and 50% of their day immersed in Spanish. Instruction is delivered in only one language at a time without translation.

Two-teacher model:  Teacher A delivers instruction in English and Teacher B in Spanish. Both share two classes and students switch classes in the middle of the day.

Based on enrollment, one teacher model may be implemented. The same teacher delivers a half day of instruction in English and the other half of the day in Spanish.

Literacy and academic content are taught daily in English and Spanish.

In K-1, the language of instruction that each student begins his or her day rotates each day. The students will begin their day with the same teacher they ended the previous day.  This eliminates the need for an extra transition as well gives evenly divides the afternoon specials from both English and Spanish.

久久热视频s participate in the following special area classes weekly, Art, Music, P.E., Library and Computers.

ELA and Math WIN (What I Need) will take place during the scheduled English portion of each subject area.

Teachers will:

• Utilize whole class instruction, small group instruction, and cooperative learning groups.
• Follow instructional minutes for their content area
• Provide academic challenges for all students.
• Expect students to demonstrate progress towards their target level in Spanish.
• Conduct formative and summative assessments in both English and Spanish in grades K-6 to measure progress towards content and language standards.
• Collaborate with grade level teams and continue their professional development to provide the best education possible to their students.

久久热视频 Dual Language program uses the Arizona State Standards (https://goo.gl/eCsjU)and the Arizona World and Native Language Standards (https://goo.gl/cyr74G). Curriculum materials for each subject area are adopted by the 久久热视频 Governing Board. We use Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) and Learning A-Z for Spanish Instruction.

Gilbert Elementary uses SeeSaw as a digital portfolio where students can upload artifacts to their SeeSaw portfolio.  久久热视频s use this app to record evidence of the key academic skill they are working towards. SeeSaw has a parent component where parents will be able to view their child’s uploads and share in the progress and accomplishments of their child.  久久热视频s will post a minimum of 6 per quarter.

All students participate in District and State assessments according to the 久久热视频 assessment calendar. In addition, students enrolled in Dual Language program in grades 3 thru 5 participate in the Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages AAPPL (https://aappl.actfl.org/) to measure students’ language proficiency levels in Spanish.

The Dual Language program accepts all students who apply to the program regardless of residency.  Open enrollment information is available by calling Michelle Martinez at 480-892-8624 or michelle.martinez@gilbertschools.net. See below for admission and registration requirements.
