Dual Language Program in NC Speaks to Students
Daily Tar Heel (NC)
For some students at McDougle Middle School, walking into a history class taught completely in Spanish is not as intimidating as it sounds. It's a normal day for students entering into the new dual language program at the Chapel Hill school. "It's a very popular program," said Neil Pedersen, superintendent of Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools. Pedersen said initially the native English-speaking students learn slower in the dual language program, but they excel by the end of elementary school.
I would like to thank you for an incredible, accessible and very relevant site for school professionals and parents. I pass it along to all my students and
research sites I work with.
