The Alvin ISD Emergent Bilingual, Foreign Language & Cultural Service Department Core Beliefs:

We believe in creating a language rich interactive classroom that supports the cognitive, affective, and linguistic needs of EB students, enabling them to possess the ability to learn for the rest of their lives and help them become productive citizens in a global society.

We believe in honoring the diversity of our students’ cultures and backgrounds. We believe in creating culturally responsive learning environments where all students are seen, valued, and respected.
