The Gift of Two Languages: A Spanish Immersion Program Brings Government Hill Elementary Back from the Brink.
Blankenship, Judy
Northwest Education, v8 n1 p34-39 Fall 2002
An Anchorage (Alaska) elementary school serving low-income minority groups revitalized itself by starting a dual-language (Spanish/English) immersion program. Pull-out programs were coordinated using instructional and tutoring teams, quality professional development was provided, bilingualism was fostered for all students, and parent participation was supported. Test scores have risen, and the school has become a community hub for education. (TD)
