- Parent Powerpoint Presentation -
The following PPT is in English and Spanish and is designed to be a resource to be used to inform parents at schools and districts implementing the Gómez & Gómez DLE Model. Depending on the length of the parent meeting, certain slides may be omitted. Overall, the PPT focuses on the following three major points:
1. The importance of students learning in the first language to learn grade-level content and skills while "adding/developing" a second language through content and transferring skills to the second language, thereby closing the English academic achievement gap as they continue in school (secondary).
2. The national and state level research and data that support the statement that "long-term academic English achievement is largely based on the extent and quality of first language schooling."
3. The characteristics and benefits of DLE and the key features of the Gómez & Gómez DLE Model.
