About Dual Promise
The Dual Promise Philosophy
Students who are dually identified as English learners and as students with disabilities bring immense personal, linguistic, and cultural resources to our classrooms. However, our siloed school system was never created with dually identified students in mind. At Dual Promise, we share nuanced teaching practices with teachers to create powerful learning opportunities for all students, including dually identified students.
