Access to Broad and Challenging Curriculum

Why we are doing this work – what are the values (not stats) underlying our commitment to the work (in addition to the obvious fact it’s in the LCAP!)
What has been our past activity on this issue over the last 4 years under Supt. Marten — what have we done already to address.
What are our plans for the current year — what are we committed to doing now — and what resources have we allocated for the work ($ + people)
What results do we have to show for what we have tried to do — and what is the state/national context for these results — are others doing better/worse?
What changes are we implementing to continue building on the above progress and when will we provide the next update

Goals & Vision
Our vision is that every student enrolled in a Dual/World Language pathway receives the Seal of Biliteracy.
Strategically formalize Dual/World Language programs and pathways within the district to promote multilingualism.
Expanding communicating methods with stakeholders about multi-literacy.
It is our vision that when a student enrolls in a Dual or World Language program that this choice places them on track to the Seal of Biliteracy. We are establishing benchmark achievements at the grades of K, 5, and 8. These markers of achievements will promote, value, and celebrate multilingualism.
In support of Vision 2020 and of Proposition 58 establishing and formalizing Dual Language pathways ensures students receive meaningful instruction and competencies in both languages.
It is our stance to support bi-literacy or multi-literacy by informing parents, students, and all other stakeholders about the different language opportunities, supports and services offered. And, we will continue to seek input and refine our offerings based on feedback from the community.
