Limited English Proficiency schoolchildren face the double challenge of mastering academic subject matter and learning a new language at the same time. To attack the problem of poor mathematics and science achievement among Limited English Proficient Hispanic students in grades K-3, SEDL organized Paso Partners-a partnership of three public schools, an institution of higher education, and SEDL specialists. Paso Partners applies the best emerging strategies and materials for teaching and integrating mathematics, science and language development and helps teachers bring these materials to Hispanic students.
