WASCO WORKSHOP 91598 1:00-4:00 Curriculum Development Workshops Every Wednesday & Thursday 8:30-10:00 with Alice Harman Val's Corner: Thank you Melissa Wainanwit for volunteering 28 hours to the development, sorting and filing of materials for the Wasco Language Group. Alice Harman, (Curriculum Developer) has set time aside in her schedule for the Wasco Workgroup. Alice has done a wonderful job of getting the Sahaptin Group going, now she intends to turn her focus to the Wasco elders & volunteers and Paiute instructors. It is the time of year for planning. Those of you who are interested in a Wasco homebasecommunity class please call for me on my direct line 3393. I am excited that we served 5 families last year with a consistent number of 17 students class. A wonderful thing hap pened, a bonus you might say, those of the family who did not physically participate in the class learned too, why? Because the language was used in the home! Sounds logical enough, thought it was a wonderful perk and important to share. Food for thought. Have you ever heard of Language Immersion teaching? The process of teaching all sub jects (ie math, science, language arts, etc.) in a language other than english for part of the day? It's a successful approach used in schools throughout the world. Teach ers have used immersion langauge methods in langauges such as french, german, Japanese, Portugese, Spanish as well as native american lanuages. Funding agencies like numbers and parents question the ability of their child to function in an engligh dominant soiciety so Immersion teachers who have taught for 15 years have tracked their students. Not surprisingly they have found that bi-lingual children have the same stan dard test scores of their mono-lingual peers if not higher. Helena Curtin, a Milwaukie teacher, is known as the mother of immersion. She was available for teaching and designing program strategies while we were training in Hawaii The Just Do It attitude was wonderful, and now we have added the wisdom of these successful programs to our repetoire. With a new school year beginning and planning season here, it gives us hope for our languages to persevere with the cooperation of all.
