Bilingual Education

The Bilingual Education Department strives to promote equity and develop English proficiency, intellectual growth, self-concept, and cultural competency in all students, including, including students who are learning English as a Second Language (EL). The Bilingual Education Department strives to ensure Española Public Schools students have access to effective bilingual multicultural education programs providing culturally and linguistically responsive education, rigorous instructional programming that supports all students—including immigrant and/or English learners (ELs)—to become bilingual and biliterate, meet and exceed all content area standards, demonstrate academic excellence, and experience school success, such that students are prepared beyond the classroom to lead productive, purposeful lives in service to the larger community.
 
Española Public Schools implements a Heritage Language (Spanish or Tewa) instructional programs at all school sites and at most grade levels as staff is available. In addition, EPS is currently implementing a Dual Language program at Eutimio T. Salazar Elementary.  Española Public Schools also provides English Language Development (ELD) to English Language Learners (ELL) as necessary and available at school sites.
