How one school wants to help Spanish speakers learn in their native language

Over the last two years, public schools have welcomed thousands of children
who speak little or no English — many of whom wind up in classes where
little or no instruction is done in their native language.

At one school on the Lower East Side, a new program is being launched to
help them learn English while also learning in their native Spanish...In a
typical Spanish dual language program, half the students speak English at
home, and half speak Spanish at home. Instruction at school is split
between both languages — so the English speakers are learning Spanish, and
the Spanish speakers are learning English, all while studying their other
subjects.

But in a one-way dual language program, all the students start with the
same home language, in this case, Spanish. And the students will learn in
both languages.
