Accelerated Schooling for English Language Learners.
Thomas, Wayne P.; Collier, Virginia P.
Educational Leadership, v56 n7 p46-49 Apr 1999

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)
