District
20 was awarded a Title VII System-wide Improvement Grant. The goal of the
grant is to improve and restructure school programs to better facilitate
our English language learners. Our school was chosen as one of the target
schools because of our large population of English language learners. A
Title VII staff developer will coordinate the implementation of the project.
The school’s action research team is responsible for the planning and implementation
of the project. The first year is the planning year. Through action
research, the team has completed a baseline study, including teacher and
parent surveys, to identity the needs of our English language learners
and their parents. Based on the research results, the team is currently
working on the plans in the following major areas: staff development, curriculum
development, restructured instruction, and parent involvement. If you wish
to review these plans, please contact Ms. Lin, Resource Specialist, by
phone at (718) 438-3230 ext.125. She will arrange an appointment to meet
with you.
