This book introduces readers to the first publicly funded, two-way
bilingual program in the United States, Coral Way Elementary
School. It details the historical, social and political origins of
the school; reviews the various discussions and conceptualization
of the bilingual education program as a 50:50 model; and describes
the training of the teachers and their work in designing curriculum
for the bilingual students. Finally, it reviews whether the program
was a success and outlines what lessons can be learned from the
Coral Way Experiment for future bilingual programs. It is essential
reading for all scholars of dual language education, for
educational historians, for students of language policy and
planning, and for teachers and educators who work in the context of
dual language education in the US and worldwide.
