Section I: Abstract of Project/Activity
The Coppell Independent School is applying for $426,139.16 under the foreign language
provision of the Coppell Education Development Corporation to furnish salaries for nine
Spanish teachers at Coppell High School during the 2003 -2004 academic year. These
teachers provide daily instruction to 2,568 students in grades nine to twelve who have
elected to study the Spanish language and culture in order to satisfy a state graduation
requirement.
Students enrolled in Spanish language classes are realizing the mission of the
district to become a global leader in educational excellence (see Appendix A) as well as
fulfilling an indicator of the Portrait of the Coppell ISD Graduate (see Appendix B).

Section II: Description of Proposal & Nature of Request
All U.S. students need to be proficient and literate in English. In addition, students will
need competence in at least one additional language and skills in cross - cultural
interaction. The need for such competence, both in our current economy and in the one in
which today's students will live and work, has been well documented. Research shows
that multilingual societies have a competitive advantage over monolingual societies in
international trade (Halliwell, 1999).
The state of Texas requires that students complete two years of the same foreign language
in order to receive a diploma under the Recommended Plan. In addition, students desiring
to graduate under the Distinguished Achievement Program (DAP) must complete a
sequence of three years of the same language (see Appendix C). Objective three of the
Coppell ISD Strategic Plan states that "No fewer than 55% of our students will achieve
distinguished academic status upon graduation."
A Texas Framework for Languages Other Than English is tied to the Texas state student
content and performance standards, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for
Languages Other Than English. The goals for the Spanish program reflect these
standards:
• Goal 1: The students communicate in Spanish using the skills of listening,
speaking, reading and writing.
• Goal 2: The student gains knowledge and understanding of other cultures.
• Goal 3: The student uses the language to make connections with other subject
areas and acquire information.
3
• Goal 4: The student develops insight into the nature of language and culture
by comparing the student's own language and culture to another.
To effectively meet the goals of the program the Spanish teachers will:
• Utilize the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Language Other Than
English in lesson planning.
• Provide experiences that will enhance the understanding of other cultures
• Provide multiple opportunities for students to interact with native speakers
• Annually assess student progress using appropriate measurements
Without these funds CISD would be unable to fund other programs that contribute
towards student success. In order to best serve our student population we respectfully
apply for this grant.
