DRAFT: Gr. 2-5 DL Teacher 50-50 Content Instruction in a Two Week Cycle

Department of English Language Learners

Grades 2-5* DL Schedules for 50/50 Content Instruction

In English and Spanish in a Two Week Cycle

See DL scheduling options on the following pages for teaching the content areas 50/50 in

English and Spanish in a two-week cycle.

Each option outlinesgeneralcontent area instructional schedules based on whetheryou

are a self-containedclassroom teacher or are a grade level team with various configurations.

The languagearts blockscheduling would have to be handled differently when the model

calls for a75/25 or 60/40 division between Spanish and English, particularly when bilingual and ESL certification issues require teaming. For this reason staffing issues need to be considered carefully when a campuschooses the 70/30 or 80/20 DL option. Please note that while math, science and social studies instruction will alternatebetween English and Spanish

on a two week basis, there will still be scheduled timesduring each week that can be used to “teach for transfer” of academic concepts andvocabulary in thelanguage opposite to the language of instruction that week.

*These schedules will work for grade 2 as well, but the math and science /S.S time blocks

need to be changed from 90 minutes to 75 minutes.
