On March 7, 2017, the School Board of Broward County, FL., adopted Resolution No. 17-98 designating BCPS as an inclusive, safe and welcoming

district. The We Are Broward Immigrant Support Plan was developed to guide discussions about diversity and culture which will instill in all

students the opportunity to validate, respect and benefit from the reward of living in a rich cultural society. Protecting the safety and privacy of our students is a top priority for Broward County Public Schools. The development of the We Are Broward Immigrant Support Plan has been a collaborative effort between various departments and the community. The Bilingual/ESOL Department, Student Support Initiatives, and Office of School Performance & Accountability (OSPA) have taken the lead to ensure all stakeholders have input and their voice is heard through the process. The We Are Broward Immigrant Support Plan can be found on CANVAS for Broward County Public School staff. The plan is a live document and will continue to be revised to ensure all resources are included. Documents intended for parents/guardians will be translated in the district’s top three languages of Spanish, Haitian Creole, and Portuguese. The We Are Broward pamphlet highlights available community resources and programs. Families can contact the agencies for information on topics and services available to them.

BENEFITS OF A DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM

Elementary students enrolled in the dual-language curriculum dramatically

utperform their peers in traditional classes, sometimes achieving proficiency levels

two or three times those of traditional students, according to data from the school

system. “The difference in proficiency is staggering,” said Suzanne Mitchell, Selma,

November 2016

Students need to meet the demands of

today’s global society and economic

pportunities.
Prepares students for college and career

readiness.

Develops higher order thinking skills as

they learn a second language.

Students benefit from cognitive

advantages with development of bilingualism and biliteracy.
