Goal 1
To review existing
policies regarding the achievement of LEP students and to develop a
coherent and consistent set of policies that articulate the aim of
LISD to provide an instructional program for all children that
ensures fluency in English and Spanish, dual literacy and high
academic achievement in all areas of the curriculum. Note: Although
legal policies for special populations are provided to us by TASB,
we need our own local policies to reflect the needs of our district.
Goal 2
To develop an intense
training program for administrators, school board members and other
local community leaders in the philosophy and theories that support
the need for high quality bilingual programs in order that they may
demonstrate strong leadership on behalf of these programs.
Goal 3
To develop a
comprehensive staff development program for bilingual/ESL certified
teachers and other instructional staff (content area teachers not
directly engaged in teaching languages) to help them design an
instructional program that recognizes the importance of language and
literacy and is driven by current theories of learning in two
languages and current theories of how children learn to read and how
every teacher is a language and reading teacher.
Goal 4
To develop a parental
and community involvement program that promotes partnerships in the
education of their children.
Goal 5
To improve
collaboration with other programs and to do a comprehensive budget
analysis with greater participation by program supervising staff in
order to maximize the convergence and use of funds to meet district
programmatic goals.
Goal 6
To seek adequate
funding in order to reach the goals of developing a high quality
bilingual education program for all students.
