School Successes Inspire N.C. Push for Dual Language
by Lesli Maxwell
October 14, 2014
At Collinswood Language Academy, a K-8 dual-language school in a working-class neighborhood in this Southern city, students produced some of the highest math achievement scores in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district.
And that's the case even though they learn all their math in Spanish, and take North Carolina's annual end-of-grade math exams in English.
… Raising achievement across the board—while producing a new generation of bilingual, biliterate students—is at the heart of North Carolina's statewide initiative to replicate the success of Collinswood and dozens of other dual-language immersion programs that have taken root during the last several years. Drawing in part on the language and cultural assets of a large and still-growing Spanish-speaking immigrant population, North Carolina is on the leading edge of a trend of steady growth in dual-language immersion programs in public schools across the nation that has been driven both by strong parental demand and growing recognition among educators of its promise for increasing achievement for English-learners.
