Addison School District Panel Discussion
The panel discussion provided an overview of the district's Dual Language Program, exploring the benefits of bilingualism, the program's structure from early childhood through junior high, and evidence supporting improved student achievement. Discussions also focused on available academic and social-emotional supports for students, the importance of fostering biculturalism, and how families can actively participate and support children in the program regardless of their own language proficiency.
