CO: Districts use newcomer programs to serve non-English speakers

Teachers challenged in multilingual classrooms

The Denver Post  October 27,2008

School districts in the Denver-metro area serve students with over 125 different native languages. To do this, some have created newcomer programs and many classrooms use theater and other creative approaches to teaching English. After one year, their English language-learning students are required to take the Colorado State Assesment Program (CSAP) test.
