Kindergarten Graduation for Pilot Year - 2009 |
The Aldama Dual Language program offers the linguistically, economically and culturally diverse
communities of Northeast Los Angeles a world-class educational experience,
while fulfilling the dream that children from all backgrounds can grow up
together, learn two languages and share the beauty and richness of each other’s
culture.
Our teachers attend conferences, institutes and trainings that prepare them
in best practices in the areas of literacy, numeracy, language learning and
building communities of learners. In addition to the beauty of learning two languages, students
are academically challenged
through the child-centered approaches of Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop,
as taught by the Columbia University Teacher’s College Reading and Writing
Project, through Cognitive Guided Instruction (CGI) Math as taught by the UCLA
Math Project, and by reaching every student, regardless of their language
level, through the special strategies of Project G.L.A.D. (Guided Language
Acquisition and Development) and the Occidental College Foreign Language
Project.
Come and visit our
beautiful program and join our community of families who stand for academic
excellence and community engagement! ¡Olé!
