Deep Collaboration Through Language Immersion Collaboration here isn't a buzzword: it's woven into everything we do given that our students in grades 1-5 alternate their days between their English and Target Language classrooms.

Teacher teams composed of English and Spanish teachers or English and Chinese teachers share two classes of students

Teacher teams share responsibility for teaching curriculum that promotes their students’ social, emotional and academic growth in both languages.

Given this structure teacher teams communicate daily to plan lessons and discuss student progress

Additionally teachers collaborate with fellow grade-level and language colleagues during weekly meetings.
