Lessons from a Dual Language Bilingual School: Celebrando una década de Dos Puentes Elementary

In 2013 I had the privilege of co-founding a public bilingual school in NYC that we named Dos Puentes Elementary (translated as two bridges). In 2023 the founders co-edited a book to share all that we had learned over a decade of growing this school. This short video shows the four pillars that have sustained and evolved with Dos Puentes since day one:

• Bilingüismo, biliteracidad y multiculturalismo

• Las familias son partners, leaders and advocates

• Investigaciones and hands-on learning

• Partnerships with universities, organizations y la comunidad
