On October 20th, several members of the Dual Language committee went on school visits. The committee spent the morning in Naperville 203 watching an 80/20 model of instruction beginning in kindergarten. This means that 80% of the students' day is spent using Spanish and 20% of the day English. In the afternoon, the committee traveled to Glen Ellyn 41. This district uses a 50/50 model K-5 (50% Spanish/50% English). During both visits, the committee was able to observe in classrooms and talk to teachers and administrators. The committee received sample documents that can be used for future reference.
