Cesar Chavez Intermediate School offers many special
instructional programs that help our students be successful. One
of our unique programs is our Dual Language Enrichment Program
(DLEP) in Spanish and English. We offer our DLEP students the
opportunity to become literate in two languages, and by the time
they leave our school, they are bi-literate and bilingual in
Spanish and English. Instruction is delivered in English and
Spanish by subject. Fifty percent of the instruction is delivered
in Spanish and the remaining 50 percent is delivered in English
according to applicable subjects (English or Spanish language
arts, mathematics, social studies and science). Therefore, we
have the 50/50 model, and the bilingual teachers are proficient
in both languages.
