ESL Bilingual Education

Huffman ISD has committed to employing highly qualified teachers. Teachers serving in a bilingual classroom are trained and certified in bilingual education to teach English Language Learners.  Bilingual teachers collaborate and exchange instructional ideas with other teachers to identify the most effective ways to meet their students' language needs. They plan and work with their bilingual teaching partners as well as their grade level team.   Sheltered Instruction training has been provided for all teachers in grades 2-12.  This provides teaching strategies that lower the linguistic demand of the lesson without compromising the integrity or rigor of the subject matter.
