About Our School

Eisenhower is a just one of the bilingual (Spanish and English) Elementary Schools in the Green Bay, Wisconsin area. It has nearly 400 students in all and about 60% of them are enrolled in the Spanish bilingual classrooms. In addition, there are more students that speak other languages and as a result the ELLs represent a high percentage of the student population. The One Way teaching method applied in the K-5 bilingual classes is proving to be quite successful evidenced by the 5^th Grade class where all but a handful of students have exited out of ESL demonstrating to be readers and writers in both languages.  Despite this progress, the WKCE results indicate, in general, there is a dire need to reduce the gaps. As a result, one of the Title One Goals this year is to introduce more ELL strategies in the mainstream classroom. We will use The ELL Compass Rose as a place for our us to house resources and exchange strategies and comments that could prove to be useful for all of us.  Your constructive participation is encouraged as you try these strategies or introduce new ones.
