Elementary TK-5
Manzanita SEED not only integrates the school ethnically,
it also creates socio-economic integration. SEED families
are a true representation of the ethnic and socio-economic
diversity of Oakland. The four main goals of 50/50 model
dual-immersion programs are: 1) All students will develop
high levels of proficiency in their first language, 2) All
students will develop high levels of proficiency in their
second language, 3) All students will be demonstrate high
levels of academic performance in English and Spanish,
and 4) All students will demonstrate positive cross-cultural
attitudes and behaviors. By providing dual-immersion, we
have ethnically and socio-economically diverse classrooms.
We have a balance of English dominant and Spanish
dominant students. All students will become bilingual and
bi-literate and they will develop a respect for diversity of
language and culture through the intentional inclusion
of multi-cultural education. According to Dr. Katheryn
Lindholm-Leary’s research on dual-immersion programs, by
sixth grade English Language Learners in a dual-immersion
program outscore their counterparts in all other programs
as measured by the California Standards Test. They score
better than the state average. Dual-immersion leads to
full English proficiency and produces student graduates
who are bilingual and bi-literate. In order to reap all of the
academic and social benefits of dual immersion, we provide
dual immersion instruction from kindergarten through
fifth grade and are working with partnering with a OUSD
middle school to build a dual-immersion six through eighth
grade model so that by the academic school year 2017-2018
our current second grade cohort has a pathway to middle
school. We intend to create a bilingual, intellectual and social
community where students’ ideas, culture and language
are valued, and where understanding is collaboratively
constructed and reconstructed through dialogue that
involves multiple voices, including those of the teacher and
the student.
