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). 2 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. 4 Section III: Budget $426,139.16 Salary for 9 certified high school Spanish teachers 5 PROGRAM GOAL STANDARD MOST RECENT MEASURE EVALUATION INSTRUMENT Increase the percent of students enrolled in PreAP Spanish Language Courses 50% 15% PEIMS Report Section IV: Project Measurements and Evaluation: The effectiveness of this project can be qualitatively measured by student work samples and projects along with anecdotal records from students, teachers and parents. Project Statistics Number of students served by this project Ninth grade: 810 Tenth grade: 938 Eleventh grade: 626 Twelfth grade: 194 Total 2568 (See Appendix D for a detailed breakdown of enrollment) Dollars per student proposed: $165.94 Evaluation of Project's Success: 6 Mission Statement Appendix A The mission of the Coppell Independent School District, as a global leader in educational excellence, is to ensure our students achieve personal success, develop strong moral character, and become dynamic citizens through a customized, innovative learning experience led by a visionary staff and community. 7 Appendix B Who is the Coppell ISD Graduate? A scholar of high reputation... ...prioritizes to achieve personal academic goals. ...transfers and applies knowledge and skills in meaningful ways that lead to further learning opportunities. ...understands and appreciates the arts and their impact on the other disciplines and life. ...discriminates in the use of consumer information. ...utilizes critical reading and thinking skills. ...practices non - traditional and original problem - solving skills ...seeks knowledge independently, responsibly, and purposefully. ...practices self - advocacy and self - determination.
