Accelerated Schooling for English Language Learners.

Thomas, Wayne P.; Collier, Virginia P.

Educational Leadership, v56 n7 p46-49 Apr 1999

A promising, increasingly popular model for English learners is one-way developmental bilingual education (DBE). DBE is appropriate in districts with large numbers of students of one primary language heritage. A well-implemented DBE program accelerates all students' growth through a meaningful, relevant, bicultural grade-level curriculum. (11 references) (MLH)
