Nearly 5.6 million students in U.S. public schools are classified as English Learners, and over 2.3 million are enrolled in secondary grades. Yet bilingual programs are heavily concentrated in the elementary grades, leaving many older multilingual students in grades 6 through 12 without access to programs designed to build their language skills while mastering grade-level content and meeting course requirements for graduation. States and districts have considerable autonomy to pursue policies that support the diverse learning needs and academic success of multilingual students. What steps can they take to create, implement, and sustain bilingual programs in secondary schools? This webcast features findings from a report answering that question, based on interviews with bilingual education experts, district leaders, and higher education faculty across California, Illinois, New Mexico, and New York. Speakers unpacked the key obstacles bilingual programs face, shared promising practices from the field, and offered recommendations for state and local policymakers and stakeholders ready to expand access. Speakers: Margarita Machado-Casas, Professor, Department of Dual Language and English Learner Education, San Diego State University; President, National Association for Bilingual Education Shelly Spiegel-Coleman, Strategic Advisor, Californians Together Lorena Mancilla, Associate Director for K-12 Partnerships and Policy, National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy, MPI Victoria Kim, Associate Policy Analyst, National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy, MPI Moderator: Delia Pompa, Senior Fellow for Education Policy, MPI www.migrationpolicy.org

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Khan Academy Kids.The webinar recording can be accessed here.When we assess young children in a language they don't yet know well, we risk measuring English exposure instead of what they actually understand. For dual language learners, this gap shows up as underestimated ability, misdirected interventions, and readiness data that doesn't reflect reality.Join this edWeb podcast with Isabel Andrade (Khan Academy Kids) and Dr. Sandra Barrueco (The Catholic University of America) for a research-grounded, administrator-focused look at what the evidence says about bilingual PreK assessment—and practical ways schools can implement home-language assessment, even when teachers don't share every child's language. We share what's working, what the barriers are for administrators, teachers, and students, and how one approach—Khan Academy Kids' bilingual PreK assessments—is being piloted in classrooms across five states.This edWeb podcast is of interest to PreK-K teachers, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders.Khan Academy KidsInspire a lifetime of learning and discovery with our fun educational program for kids ages 2 - 8.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Khnh L and Alisha Nguyen will present on their research exploring the history, development, and impact of Vietnamese dual language bilingual education (DLBE) programs in five U.S. states with significant Vietnamese populations. Using a multiple-case study approach, this project examined how these programs support heritage language preservation and the raciolinguistic identity development of Vietnamese students, particularly in the context of refugee resettlement after the Vietnam War. The study also addresses the gap in scholarship on Vietnamese American education, language, and cultural integration in the U.S. education system.

Dual language education is one of the most powerful ways schools can honor students' identities while strengthening academic outcomes, and this week's conversation makes that crystal clear. I'm joined by Instructional Superintendent at District of Columbia Public Schools Eric Bethel and Executive Director of The Sullivan Family Charitable Foundation Dr. Maggie Marcus for a rich discussion on bilingualism, multilingualism, and what it really looks like to teach content through two languages in a way that supports every child. Join us on this episode as we break down what dual language programs are, including the difference between whole school models and strand models, and why the structure matters for equity and school culture. You'll also hear how dual language programs can reduce isolation for multilingual learners, why this work is not just a programme choice, but a deeper commitment to belonging and opportunity, and practical ideas for leaders who do not currently have a dual language programme but want to better serve multilingual students right now.

National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month is the period from September 15 to October 15, where we pay particular attention to the contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans in the United States, and celebrate the group's rich heritage and diverse cultures. This timeframe encompasses the independence days of several Latin American countries: Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. It's also an ideal time for us to restate our commitment to providing safe and welcoming schools for all students, regardless of immigration or any other status. Students who identify as Hispanic or of Latino heritage comprise 41 percent of our population in HSD, which is the largest of any demographic group. We believe our multilingual community brings a tapestry of linguistic and cultural assets and are proud to serve these students through a variety of programs - some of which serve them specifically, others of which are accessible to students of all backgrounds. Our PK-12 Dual Language programs serve more than 3,500 students who learn in both Spanish and English, and expand their socio-cultural competence. We have a thriving Latino Parent Advisory Council at the district level, and several “paquitos” at the school level to help ensure our Spanish-speaking families can receive information and provide feedback in meaningful ways, and help our district and schools with events and programming that celebrates their cultures and customs. Our schools will be sharing relevant information with students about events, people, and customs connected to Hispanic and Latino Heritage over the course of the next several weeks. The City of Hillsboro and Centro Cultural are also hosting a wide range of events, including the El Grito Festival, Binational Health Fair, and more. And save the date of Thursday, October 2, for HSD's Hispanic Heritage event featuring activities, entertainment, food, and community.Our featured event was the kick-off to the 2025-26 school year, which officially began on Wednesday and Thursday, September 3 and 4. Students and staff alike were excited to get back to class and embark upon a new year of learning, growth, and memories in the making.

HSD began its Spanish-English Dual Language program in the 2002-03 school year to engage and support the increasingly diverse community we were serving and continue to serve. In HSD's Dual Language program (also referred to as two-way immersion), students learn content in Spanish and English simultaneously. Cultures are explored while students work and learn together, preparing them for a successful future in the multicultural world in which we live.Today, we have more than 3,600 PK-12 students participating in Dual Language Programs across our district. These are in place at eight elementary schools and to varying degrees at each of our middle and high schools. The programs at South Meadows Middle School and Hilhi are considered “robust” programs, with two or three of the four core classes offered in Spanish at each grade level. Our other middle and high schools offer one or two core classes in Spanish - one of them being Spanish Language Arts. This way, students are able to maintain and grow their biliteracy skills within their own communities. Read more on our website at: www.hsd.k12.or.us

Joining us for this episode of the podcast is Dr. Vindia Fernandez, who has been on the show before back in episode 3. Dr. Fernandez earned her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Houston and completed her APA-accredited internship and fellowship at UCLA, specializing in neurodevelopmental issues like autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. As founder of the Center for Pediatric Neuropsychology and director at UCLA's Cultural Neuropsychology Program, her focus is on culturally appropriate evaluations for Latino/a children and teaching social skills to neurodiverse youth. Dr. Fernandez discusses how bilingualism in children is often misunderstood and that it's usually good for cognitive development. She also elaborates upon some red flags when it comes to identifying possible learning disabilities such as dyslexia and how her procedures differ depending on whether or not the bilingual child is in an English-only classroom or if the child is in a dual language immersion program. She reflects on some of her frustrations around how bilingual children are assessed and what she hopes to see change in the future. While we have certainly seen great strides and progress in this area, there is still much work to do, such as honoring heritage languages, increasing integration, and identifying problems earlier. Dr. Fernandez is a wealth of knowledge on this topic, and her passion truly shines through. Show Notes: [2:40] - Assessing bilingual children is a true passion for Dr. Fernandez. [3:44] - She feels that bilingualism in children is often misunderstood. [5:22] - Learning another language is incredibly dynamic and complex and is different for every child. [7:06] - Vindia reflects on a recent change of more children engaged in dual language immersion programs. [9:55] - What red flags should be paid attention to that don't tend to be problems with monolingual children? [13:11] - Vindia explains why her procedures differ depending on whether the bilingual child is in a dual language immersion program. [15:46] - Vindia explains why assessments might need to be done in both of a child's languages. [18:07] - What role do language disorders play in bilingual children? [21:28] - We ultimately want these children to be confident and to reach milestones. [24:15] - “You teach to the skill that you want to see improvement in.” [27:16] - Dr. Fernandez mentions that 50-75% of behavior therapy involves parents. [30:55] - She gives some helpful advice to parents.

For nearly a decade, the Spanish Embassy's Ministry of Culture, Education and Sports has recognized each of Southampton's public schools as an International Spanish Academy, which implements a Spanish-English dual language immersion curriculum with the support of the ministry. The dual language program has helped students from Spanish-speaking households become proficient in English, and vice versa, and has had the added effect of bridging social and cultural divides in the schools. This week on the 27Speaks podcast, the editors discuss the origins, purposes and successes of the program.

Jupillat Posey was born in Venezuela, adopted by French parents, residing in the United States from three to 28 years of age and now currently residing in Franc. Sophie's life has been as complex and rich as her heritage. Her childhood and teenage years were full of amazing adventures such as raising raccoons, learning dual curriculums at the same time and traveling extensively throughout the US and France. However, those years were full of pain due to psychological and physical abuse. She was exposed to the arts early on; which resulted in her falling in love with writing and music. Sophie went to Rollins College in 2011, and graduated with a Bachelors in English with Honors, as well as minors in both Music and Creative Writing. She started publishing short stories, and her orchestral and piano pieces in literary magazines while she was still in college. She is now an indie author, publishing novels and novellas, in the fantasy and science fiction genres mainly (also some poetry and kid lit). She is also an indie composer and singer-songwriter with three albums in the neoclassical and jazz genres under her belt. She has also scored the soundtracks for a few short films.Sophie is also a teacher with experience teaching Special Ed and ESE students in English and French. Like most things in her life it was a happy accident that led her from doing private tutoring during and after college, to teaching full-time and getting her certifications and Masters in Elementary Education with a focus on Dual Language writer.https://linktr.ee/spjposeyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU9l2wYoh_AMusic by Corey Quinn

SEASON 4 EPISODE 139 | As the global expanse shrinks with the use of technology, either through the ability to travel to other countries or visit new people ‘face-to-face' on computers or phones. The barrier of time and distance is dissolving with one remaining hurdle: language. Language, its something we all learn and as we grow we realize learning a language can be more difficult than reciting words. That's where Ideal School comes in with dual language immersion.
