training at the University of Hous
ton in Victoria from 1975 to 1977.
She says the shortage problem may
relate to failure of teachers after cer
tification.
“It takes a very special person to
teach,” Dyer says. “If a teacher be
comes too emotionally involved in
helping students, they can lose ob
jectivity. You just can’t be idealistic
or overcompensate because you
want them to succeed.”
Because of a recent curriculum
reform bill, teachers are responsible
for seeing that students master the
essential elements needed in each of
the reauired subjects.
Achievement tests in grades K-6
indicate if pupils are able to go into
an all English classroom. In high
school, districts must provide at least
one 45 minute period of ESL for
LEP students.
LEP students that leave bilingual
education programs are reviewed
for the following two years to ensure
they have not prematurely exited.
Dr. Sharon Colson, director of el
ementary education for the College
Station Independent School District,
says the district does let pupils into
all English classrooms after only a
short time in the ESL program.
Colson says the children in Col
lege Station learn cjuickly, and attrib
utes this to the majority of LEP chil
dren whose parents are students or
E rolessors at A&M and emphasize
;arning.
CSISD has about 40 students rep
resenting 25 languages. The district
has an international population as
opposed to a one- or two-language
population. This multilingualism is
the reason there is no bilingual edu
cation instruction.
English as a second language is
taught in College Station to children
in K-12 because the incidence of
LEP is low enough for them to qual
ify. Few students who enter can’t
speak any English.
Another program under bilingual
education provides educational serv
ices for migrants. The Texas Legis
lature once authorized schools to ex-
clude illegal migrants (and
immigrants), but the U.S. Supreme
Court overturned the statute and or
dered schools to admit the children.
“When we (CSISD) applied for
migrant funding, they (tne TEA)
couldn’t imagine any place 500 miles
from any border with all these peo
ple,” Colson says.
Because College Station serves a
foreign population from A&M, the
district qualified for migrant educa
tion funding.
Colson says that many of the in
ternational students participate in
the gifted program.
CSISD has two teachers for its
ESL program, but has not suffered
from teacher shortages as other dis
tricts have recently.
“They’re traveling teachers who
go around to the different campuses
and work with those (LEP) kids,”
Colson says. “They work closely with
the students so we’re able to meet in
dividual needs.”
A large part of Texas’ bilingual
education program serves mostly
Hispanic children, but College Sta
tion’s serves relatively few.
The Bryan Independent School
District, however, serves mostly
Spanish-speaking LEP students, al
though a few years ago there were
enough Vietnamese students for the
district to qualify for the migrant
program.
Dr. Dana Marable, bilingual su
pervisor for BfSD, says the district
has a bilingual education program
with 10 classes in grades K-5 and an
ESL program for grades 6-12.
“We use a dual language ap
proach with full-time dual language
instruction,” Marable says. “The tea
chers use (the) transitional (method)
because that’s what the state says to
do, but it’s a solid dual language pro
gram.”
Bryan has a teacher for each of
the 10 bilingual classes and has had
very little trouble recruiting instruc
tors, she says.
“We offer lots of materials to work
with and just seem to attract teachers
who, in turn, do us a really good
job,” Marable says.

A new Aggie tradition for
serious ice cream lovers.
I magine, ice cream that’s made
fresh each day! Then imagine
choosing any combination of
fresh fruit or candy and having it all
blended together. We call them
“Blend-Ins™”. And they’re a new
tradition in Aggieland!
Amaretto and coconut. Chocolate
mousse with Heath Bars. Or M&M’s.
Or Reeses Pieces. Fresh cream with
ripe, delicious strawberries. Or
bananas...the combinations are
endless!
We’re making serious ice cream.
And you’ll have to make a serious
decision - what flavor do I try first?
“Do yourself, and a
friend, a flavor...”
