CES is very freeform "whatever the teacher wants to do", not a "curriculum" that is used across schools.

This sounds like what I got in school, and it was awesome.

I'd seen this about the two-way immersion programs but not the one-way programs. Got a reference on it?

To be clear, the one-way immersion programs don't have ELC. But the gen-ed (English-only) programs at those schools do.

So kids in immersion of any kind don’t get a whack at “enriched literacy curriculum” unless they go to CES?

Bummer if true

Their literacy curriculum is enriched by the foreign language.

I think this is true, and as the parent of an immersion kid I'm not complaining, but want to point out that the "Academy" kids in one-way immersion don't have access to the ELC either. So, if you are an English language kid in a school that houses a OWI program, you don't currently have access to ELC. Hopefully that changes next year.

Seems like not all schools with immersion are the same. There is ELC for non- immersion at our school.

One way immersion is a special program with the enrichment and challenge of learning in a language that is not our kid’s first language. I’d pick it for my kid over ELC or CES- that’s why we applied and plan to stick with it through middle school.

That being said, Im glad there are other options and ELC is also available in non- immersion classes at immersion schools. If we hadn’t gotten immersion in the lottery in K, it would have been important to us.

That is one form of enrichment, but not one directed at the need for complexity/depth that is the aim of CES.

Not missing much. Elc isn’t great

We haven’t found this to be true. ELC has been great for mine and several other kids I know in the class.

These kids are already getting access to special programming not available to everyone.

Interesting. This not our experience. My daughter is currently enrolled and loves it. Feels less rigid than her home school curriculum and that is partly what she loves about it.

CES is very freeform "whatever the teacher wants to do", not a "curriculum" that is used across schools.

That wasn't true when my kids went through the program. In fact, it seemed downright rigid.

That’s not true. There’s a very specific and detailed curriculum. Teachers adhere to it more or less. My kids 4th grade teacher insisted on doing everything which meant a very heavy workload.

Immersion programs have to source a bunch of their own curricular material. If supported, they can come up and employ with rough equivalents to ELC.

If supported.
