Academics

We are committed to providing the best in bilingual education for our students.  To support this, we are eager participants in the ASL/English Bilingual Professional Development project (AEBPD) provided through the Center for ASL/English Bilingual Education and Research (CAEBER).

 

The Seven Principles for Success (Freeman and Freeman) are a driving force in AEBPD training and an instrumental tool for teachers as they prepare lessons.

Seven Principles for Success

Learning Proceeds from Whole to Part

Lessons Should Be Learner Centered

Lessons Should Have Meaning and Purpose for Students Now

Lessons Should Engage Students in Social Interaction

Lessons Should Develop Both Oral (signed) and Written Language

Lessons Should Support Students' First Languages and Cultures

Lessons Should Show Faith in the Learner to Expand Students' Potential
