[quote=Anonymous]Re Cleveland, pretty much all the Hispanic kids in the school are in the dual language track (there is also an English only track there), so there are actually a lot of native speakers in the dual language track. Starting this year, there is a lottery within in dual language track for English dominant speakers and Spanish dominant speakers, so going forward the dual language program with always be ~50/50 English and Spanish speaking students. (Like Oyster does.) Through third grade all the teachers and aides are native speakers. The 4/5th grade Spanish teacher is not native, but African Anerican. I think they wanted a model for the AA kids. That teacher is currently on maternity leaves, so perhaps she won't be back. Another Cleveland dual language plus it is 90% in Spanish in PK3 and PK4. It switches to 50/50 in K. So it's likely easier for English dominant kids to learn Spanish. Not all DCPS Spanish immersion programs are like that. [/quote]
