Summary: Rosetta Stone has been used at Pinacate Middle School as a successful supplemental program to accelerate the language acquisition of students at the limited to no functional receptive (listening and reading) and productive English skills (speaking and writing) level. The District is proposing the expansion of the program and purchase of licenses for newcomer students throughout the District. The use of Rosetta Stone will be in addition to students’ Designated and Integrated English Language Development throughout the instructional day. The District's English Learner Leadership team comprised of teachers, counselors, and administrators have developed plans to support students and families by communicating with parents regarding the goals of the program, monitoring student usage, and providing flexible learning spaces on campus before and after school.
