| Body | From http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/newsline/archives/2006/12/two-way_immersi.html Two-Way Immersion Toolkit Available Online Edited by Elizabeth R. Howard, Julie Sugarman, Marleny Perdomo, and Carolyn T. Adger Northeast and Islands Regional Educational Laboratory at Brown University, December 2005 The two-way immersion (TWI) toolkit originally published by the Northeast and Islands Regional Educational Laboratory at Brown University is now available online on the Center for Applied Linguistics Web site. Two-way immersion is a form of dual language instruction that brings together students from two native language groups for language, literacy, and academic content instruction through two languages. The Toolkit is designed as a resource for teachers, parents, and administrators involved with TWI programs, particularly those at the elementary level, and primarily focuses on classroom instruction and parental involvement. The classroom instruction segment includes a Question & Answer (Q&A) document on teaching in TWI programs; model lesson plans that show how best practices are implemented in the TWI classroom; a study guide to facilitate the use of the Q&A document and model lessons for professional development; and additional resources on effective instructional practices in TWI programs. The parental involvement segment is designed to be used by teachers, administrators, and parents. This segment includes an overview of two-way immersion, a Q&A document that addresses questions and concerns that parents frequently have, a home-school communication template designed to help classroom teachers facilitate strong home-school connections, and additional resources that include suggested readings on parent involvement in two-way immersion programs and links to resources that parents may find useful. All of the parent materials are available in Spanish as well as English. (...To view the Toolkit, visit the Center for Applied Linguistics at http://www.cal.org/twi/toolkit/index.htm .) |
