Hayward Unified School District (HUSD)
Hayward Unified School District's Multilingual Learner Department provides on-going support to our district's programs designed for students whose primary language is not English. Our main charge is to coordinate services, create resources, and provide professional learning and support to district staff tasked with instructing our multilingual learners and providing resources and professional development for their families. Our goal is for our students to graduate from Hayward Unified School District with the academic skills and foundational experiences necessary to be in a position to continue formal post-secondary education or to succeed in a career of their choosing. We believe this is a collaborative effort that involves all educational partners in the lives of our PK-12 students: teachers, support staff, site administrators, central office staff, families and community members.
Hayward Unified School District offers the following program options to Multilingual Learners:
- Structured English Immersion
- Dual Language Immersion (DLI) One-Way (formerly called Bilingual Alternative)
- Dual Language Immersion Two-Way
- World House (exclusively for newcomers in grades 7-12)
In all cases, Multilingual Learners are given the tools they need in order to master both language and content.
