The projected budget is based off the previous year, amount of current participants, and mentors.

• Dual Language Immersion Academy
• Dual Language Immersion Teacher Recruitment Flyer
• Bilingual Authorized Teachers in AESD
• Biliterate, Equitable, Communicative, Observant, Multicultural Educators (B.E.C.O.M.E.)
• B.E.C.O.M.E. Flyer
• District Dashboard Table (Ethnicities Chart)
• English Language Learners Chart & Data

The Dual language Immersion Academy  has a full time Curriculum Specialist that supports the Dual Language Immersion Program, DLI Teachers, and students. At the start of the year, all new DLI Teachers attend a new DLI  Orientation and three times per year, a two hour collaboration is facilitated with all DLI Teachers and the Curriculum Specialist.

A Partnership between Anaheim Elementary School District, Westminster School District, California State University Fullerton and Anaheim Union High School District was formed to offer educators the opportunity to complete modules to recruit, retain, and refine biliteracy skills so a new generation of biliterate students can be taught effectively (B.E.C.O.M.E. Project).

3. Revised Documentation:

The revised documents have been edited to reflect the following changes:

There are no longer any mandatory or required professional development trainings that Participating Teachers must attend within the Induction Program (Induction Master Calendar).  Instead, they will choose PDs that directly correlate to the Professional Growth Goals (CSTPs) each PT has chosen. Professional Development is offered by the School District through a Professional Development Calendar located on the AESD Website and scheduled through Eventbrite.  There is also a Professional Learning Opportunities Site that offers PD in different curricular areas.
