What California can learn from Texas about bilingual education

Listen Later

Texas offers more bilingual education than California and backs it up with more funding.

We visit an elementary school and a middle school in Austin, Texas, where students learn in Spanish and English. And we talk with a researcher about why Texas is so much farther ahead than California in bilingual education.

Guests:

  • Conor Williams, Senior Fellow, The Century Foundation
  • Wendell Norris Marquez, Pre-AP Spanish Teacher, Lively Middle School, Austin Independent School District
  • Yadi Landaverde, Teacher, Perez Elementary School, Austin Independent School District
  • Caroline Sweet, Dual-language Instructional Coach, Perez Elementary School, Austin Independent School District
