Communicating my Plan
Many things point to the need for meaningful change in education. Change around the world is driven by exciting new research on how the brain works and how people learn. Learners must not only develop what they know, but also skills, attitudes, and values that will help them be capable people. For this to happen, they need to actively take part in their learning and be motivated by it.(christopher.2014).
We are in the Information Age. New technology that supports learning is also driving change. New tools allow students to connect with others all over the world. A mountain of information is easily accessible with just the click of a button. The teacher no longer holds all knowledge. They are now a critical
INNOVATION PROPOSAL
The Frisco school district adopted the One -Way Dual language program pre-kindergarten to Fifth Grade. Frisco ISD’s one-way dual language program only serves students of limited English proficiency as opposed to a two-way program which would serve both fluent Spanish speaking students as well as fluent English-speaking students. The one-way Dual language program model seeks to develop literacy in English and another language, in this case Spanish, Students study academic subjects in both languages, they develop literacy in Spanish and the partner language, this is a special program choice. This program will be taken at two schools at Frisco.
Dear Fisd Bilingual coordinator: The Frisco school district adopted the One -Way Dual language program pre-kindergarten to Fifth Grade. Frisco ISD’s one-way dual language program only serves students of limited English proficiency as opposed to a two-way program which would serve both fluent Spanish speaking students as well as fluent English-speaking students. The one way Dual language program model seeks to develop literacy in English and another language, in this case Spanish, Students study academic subjects in both languages, they develop literacy in Spanish and the partner language, this is a special program choice . This program will be taken at two schools at Fris
One-Way Dual language is an additive program model that focuses on challenging
,interactive, and authentic instruction . Dual language education has three goals:
High linguistic proficiency in two languages.
High academic proficiency in two languages .
Positive cross-cultural attitudes promoting bilingualism.
Frisco ISD
What is the problem with this program vs learning different languages? I like this
Dual language program but I think it has two disadvantages that slow down
learning:
First one: It Is NOT enough! This program is NOT going to help every student
who wants to have a second language, who has the talent to have a second
language.
Second one: this program is going to teach only Spanish. But what if the learner wanted to choose a language that he is really interested in, he has passion to learn passion to speak and also passion to write. Third: ”Texas is BIG “ . Frisco consists of ( 62.39 miles) ,and it has a (208 ,261 ) population estimate for this year. How will two schools be enough to complete and encourage the learners who are interested to speak a second or even third language? In 2019 a crisis of covid and pandemic happened , everybody at home using computer, laptop, apple phone….etc. . Work also occurred from home. Imagine that happened without any preparation or any expectation . Technology at this crisis was the most important thing ,which made us think and discover how much of this disruptive innovation is so important .
My proposal plan is divided into two parts: First: I encourage the American people to learn a second language . Nowadays the second language is very easy to learn with all the technology that we have and all the tools that we already use. Applying the linguistic program and making it available for every learner’s choice. Using technology tools like: earbud, headphones . using microphone , reading texts ( with Q and A) . Writing will be practiced through accelerated levels . playing interesting linguistic games will enhance the learning and encourage the learners to feel more excited . references: Mind hack:7secrets to learn any new language |Steve Kaufmann… This plan should be held from any school , because all these technology tools can be used in any location!. Second: My proposal plan is to make my own learning center called (Global languages). This center should have all the technology tools that the linguistic learner needs. I am going to be a class coach who will help the learner to choose his passionate language and start from there , using the linguistic program with accelerated levels and organize the time with the process of learning ;This Global Language center should have a rotation plan for every student ,start with listening , followed by reading , speaking and then writing .After he completes the four stages of learning then he will earn playing games with a specific second language that he chooses to learn . Every weekend he can watch a movie with his preferred second language . If the learner has a friend with the same second language they can share playing games and watching movies together . Journal Buddies (it is a writing electronic game) The ultimate goal for having this opportunity is very beneficial for the bilingual future .It will open more great opportunities for him when he will be working ,it will make him expose to other cultures and be aware of other traditions, also it will make the learner more smarter, more independent , a lot more of having self confident ! Iam asking Frisco Isd to encourage and support learners who would like to be bilingual to support my Idea . “Let's start to be BILINGUAL “. I will update you with my ideas and my Global language center!

LITERATURE REVEIW
Education is in crisis! This crisis when we stay learning in a traditional classroom while the technology innovation is already there! We must change the education method either by teaching or by learning in a new style. The educational system is not copying and doing what we have always done, it should create innovators in their field and engage learner’s minds and hearts. We have the opportunity! We can make an amazing impact on our learners by giving them authentic learning opportunities and letting them thrive in their future. We want to prepare our students for the future; We need to transfer learning models and embrace pedagogy that gives students opportunities for social collaboration and constructivist ideals (Michael Follen,2014
IMPLEMENTATION OUTLINE
I want to share with you my blended learning plan using the station rotation and lab rotation. I want to personalize our learning; I wish to create a new future of learning.(Sogata Mitra,2013).Build a school in the cloud
I choose blended learning, especially the part of station rotation, because it will help students to be self-directed learners through a student –centered curriculum. Personalization provides students with greater agency, voice, and choice, in learning, what, where and when? (INACOL,2015) Blending learning.
