Emergent Bilingual (EB)
The Bilingual Education and English as a Second Language (ESL) Programs in Palestine ISD are designed with the success of our students in mind. PISD aims to enable limited English proficient students to develop fluency in oral language, reading comprehension and writing skills in English. The programs focus on the development of literacy and academic skills in the primary language and English through the use of second language learning methods.
PISD's EB Program strives to meet the educational needs of each linguistically diverse student by recognizing the affective, linguistic, and the cognitive domains to enable students' successful and equitable participation in all instructional programs.
