Brief description of Learning Circle plan:
 * Goal Statement: **

Our goal is that all Minneapolis Public Schools that have the early exit transitional dual language (EETDL) and developmental one-way dual language (DDL) models will work together in collaboration to create a transparent, cohesive system for our students and families as they move in and out of programs across the district for the purpose of creating a a family friendly unified system that best meets the needs of our students.

Plan to measure results: Create district wide protocols and standardized forms that NSJ, Pillsbury, Andersen Jefferson and Green can use for parent communication and student transfer between schools.
 * Actions or activities to reach the goal: **

** • Parent communication forms about the three programs (finished) **


• Finish the dual language brochures and get them printed through the communications department. • All information and forms will be available on the multilingual website for easy access.


 * • Here are a few brochures that we did not make, however we will use them at our schools.**

Timeline: What we create we will use at each site during the 2012 – 2013 school. We will survey the use and effectiveness of these forms and procedures at these five buildings. We will meet in the fall 2012 to review and reflect on our work and continue to enhance the process.
