Content and Language Objectives
Content: Language:

Review the guiding principles Read and understand the

of dual language education Claremont Biliteracy Curriculum
and familiarize ourselves with Maps and discuss what topics
the Biliteracy Curriculum Maps will be taught in quarter 1
Why DL/I Education?
Notable research studies have
examined the impact of DL/I
education on student achievement
and provide evidence of the benefits
for students across all demographics.

A successful DL/I experience in the

elementary school years may be the
fastest way to grade-level
achievement for ELs, as this is when
the opportunity gap is easiest to
close.

The Three Pillars of Dual Language
1. Bilingualism and 2. Academic Achievement 3. Intercultural Competence
Biliteracy

These three pillars represent the goals and core components of DL/I education.
