Dual-Language Two-Way Program

  • Manor ISD offers a dual-language two-way program at the kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade level in three of its elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year. 

    2022-23 Participating Campuses (Kindergarten-3rd):

    • ShadowGlen Elementary
    • Bluebonnet Trail Elementary
    • Decker Elementary (1st-3rd only)

    Dual Language Two Way Immersion is an educational model that integrates native English speakers and native speakers of Spanish for all or most of the day, with the goals of promoting high academic achievement, first-and-second-language development, and cross-cultural understanding for all students. In dual-language two-way programs, language learning takes place primarily through content and literacy instruction in both languages. For more about the program please see the attached FAQ.

    The program is open to all rising Kindergartners for the year 2022-2023* (students previously in dual language programming in previous districts may be eligible depending on availability).

    La inmersión bidireccional en dos idiomas es un modelo educativo que integra a hablantes nativos de inglés y hablantes nativos de español durante la mayor parte del día, con el objetivo de promover un alto rendimiento académico, el desarrollo de la primera y la segunda lengua y la comprensión intercultural para todos los alumnos.

Dual-Language One-Way Program

  • The Dual Language One-Way Program supports students whose primary language is Spanish to become bilingual, biliterate, and multicultural through literacy and content learning in English and Spanish.

    All participating students in the dual language program receive instruction in language arts and content area subjects primarily in Spanish in the early grades (PK-2) with a grade-specific amount of English Language Arts instruction incorporated daily. English instruction is gradually increased through the grade levels (PK-2) and by third grade, instruction is presented in a 50% Spanish /50% English format.
