Trustees Received a Presentation on the District's Two-Way Immersion and Dual Language Programming
Trustees received a presentation on the District's Two-Way Immersion and Dual Language Programming. Highlights and data from the presentation included information on two LIEP (Language Instruction Educational Program) models being used by WCSD schools: DLI (Dual Language Immersion) and TWI (Two-Way Immersion).
Recent data was presented on these programs from three Washoe County Schools (Beck ES, Mount Rose ES, and Mount Rose MS), results demonstrated scoring above district elementary schools by 29% in ELA (English Language Arts) and 22% Math on statewide assessments (Elementary School SBAC) based on prior data from 22-23. Additionally, these programs demonstrated an 11% increase from 22-23 & 21% above district ES as measured by the Elementary ACCESS AGP (Adequate Growth Percentiles) for the schools mentioned above.
Wooster High School now has programs in both Math and Social Studies that provide instruction completely in Spanish. Moving forward, the trustees mentioned consideration for a district-level coordinator for TW/DL Immersion programs that was discussed during the previous budget.
