JSP PROGRAM PARTICULAR DESIGN (Resolution , DOGV)  What is DPP? The DPP is the specification and contextualization of a bilingual or multilingual education program to the particular reality of each school.  Why the DPP is a fundamental document in educational planning? It allows to develop the specific appropriate program for each school It allows the educational administration to know the status of the use of languages in each centre. It allows the revitalization and promotion of the vehicular use of Valencian among all groups of the educational community. It allows to make decisions about the use of Valencian and foreign language as vehicular languages that should be taken into account afterwards, in other aspects of the PEC and PCC.

JSP LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE DPP’S DEVELOPMENT  What schools should develop a DPP? All schools in the predominant Valencian speaking areas. Schools in the predominant Spanish speaking areas that wish to apply a bilingual or multilingual program.  Who is concerned with the development and approval? The DPP should be developed by the Commitee on Educational Coordination and approved by the School Board. Advisory’s collaboration may be requested.

JSP DPP’S CONTENT  The general objectives of the prescriptive curriculum for that level, contextualized according to the educational reality of the centre and the requirements of the bilingual education program or programs applied.  The proportion of the use of Valencian, Spanish and English as languages of instruction.  The schedule for the different subjects in the different cycles (only for immersion)  The moment and sequence for the reading and writing systematic introduction, in Valencian and Spanish (Primary Education)  The methodological treatment of different languages: Valencian, Spanish and foreign language/s.  The provision of activities for new students joining the Valencian education system, who may require specific attention to replace their low linguistic competence in one of the official languages.

JSP ACTIVITY 1 Write two texts (250 words minimum), choosing two of the following proposals:  Locate the Program Particular Design of the multilingual or bilingual education programs that are implemented in the centre where you work. Compose a text explaining their characteristics and suitability to the sociolinguistic context in which it is located.  You’ve chosen to explain your centre’s Comitee for Coordinating Education (CoCoPe) the appropriateness of applying a Plurilingual Program, enriching the current linguistic program with the addition of English as the language used for teaching part of the curriculum. You have to overcome the reluctance of some teachers. Explain detailed reasons why the implementation of this program would be advisable or not.  Write a letter to the families of the students who will start attending your school next year in order to guide them on the features and benefits of a Plurilingual Program implemented in that centre.  Write a text to be read to the parents of those students you will have next year, since they want some information about voluntarily implementing a Progressive Incorporation Program (PIP) in a Spanish speaking area, enriched with the incorporation of English to teach some curricular contents.

JSP ACTIVITY 2 Which bilingual or multilingual programs does my school apply?  Ask for the DPP in your school.  Next session: talk about the different linguistic programs your schools have and which subjects are taught through each language.
