Diversity in Today’s Schools

In the classroom I am placed there are students that are English Language Learners that may struggle with learning the language. How do the teachers of Timpanogos Elementary Handle these students in being able to understand English and the content that is being taught? Easy! Timpanogos Elementary is one of many schools in the area that have a dual immersion program. Dual immersion is where the students are learning Spanish and English at the same time. This helps those Spanish students catch up as the English students develop a second language. Well how do they go about that? The classes are formed to the best of their ability to creating a half Spanish speakers and half English speakers.  Well how do the teachers go about this? Some classrooms have teachers that are fluent in both languages while other classrooms have two teachers where they are only allowed to speak in the language that they were hired for. So a Spanish teacher may know English, but they can only talk with that teacher in Spanish. I like this school and how it helps most of those students that struggle and turn it into a strength for all those that are trying to learn a second language. It seems to me that it is a good decision that levels the educational playing field between all the students.
