Renee A. Foose writes, “Several years ago, when the Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) and community came together to develop our strategic plan, two of the resulting strategies centered on developing and providing equitable access to a robust world language instructional program at all levels. We understood that we had to rethink the HCPSS World Language Program in order to effectively prepare students to be global citizens. Howard County is now paving the way for language fluency by offering many of our students world language instruction in continuum from pre-K through high school, eliminating gaps that can occur when instruction is interrupted during a student's academic career.”
