[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think immersion programs have a good shot at surviving. Especially the two-way immersion programs, which have pretty mixed-to-poor academic results.[/quote] The poor results are the result of poor implementation as documented in the OSA report. In addition, it's important to note that they only looked at outcomes during elementary school. It's a common finding that immersion students experience lower performance at first, but then their performance increases and exceeds that of their peers later on. That being said, MCPS's TWI programs have not done as well as similar programs in other jurisdictions because MCPS hasn't implemented them effectively. https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB9903.html[/quote]
