With the rapid increase of culturally and linguistically diverse students populating today's schools, changes in pedagogy, programs and practices that effectively addresses the changing demographics is not only necessary, but inevitable. Two-Way/Dual Language Education continues to show great promise for the academic and linguistic success of language minority children, and for the development of biliteracy for all children. This approach emphasizes equality of educational opportunity for both English and non-English-speaking children through an educational process that validates and fully develops both languages and instills a mutual respect for both language learners. Two-way/Dual Language models serve as vehicles for positively impacting educational and social change and eliminating the academic achievement gap that currently exists between our English and Spanish speaking children.
