Emersion programs in the US.

   Today in SPED 200 Mrs. Johnson showed the class a video about Spanish and Chinese emersion schools. The schools strictly teach all subjects in Spanish or Chinese. Schooling starts as early as kindergarten for some kids. The idea is that if a person is completely emerged in a language promotes healthier and quicker means of learning and understanding that language. The younger the student starts learning a second language will determine how quickly and efficiently the student retains the language.

   These schools would great paths for the way of the alternative teachers licensing. For example, an immigrant from China comes to the US, they could start teaching math or reading and spelling at a comfortable level at one of these schools.
