What this document actually says
This action plan documents the work of the Spanish Task Force, a group of board members, administrators, teachers, parents, and students who met from Fall 2023 to Spring 2024 to evaluate and improve the district's Spanish program across all three schools. The task force examined program history, student achievement data, high school placement results, and stakeholder feedback through surveys. They developed a vision for all students to have fun, rigorous Spanish experiences with credentialed teachers using strong instructional strategies. The plan outlines program strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats at each school site, and proposes phased improvements from Pre-K through 8th grade to better prepare students for advanced high school Spanish courses.
What this means for your family
This plan will affect how your child learns Spanish throughout their time in Reed schools. Changes may include more consistent Spanish instruction at elementary schools, improved curriculum alignment between schools, and better preparation for high school Spanish placement. Most Del Mar graduates currently start high school in Spanish V-VI, and these improvements aim to maintain that success while making Spanish more enjoyable and accessible for all students.
