Mango for K-12

Mango for Texas classrooms

Texas shares a border and centuries of history with Mexico. From Dallas high schools to Rio Grande towns, students can use a second language without leaving the state.

Standards

Against the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)

of the framework, courses alone: 96%; Mango's Spanish course on its own, with nothing added.
with the Guide to Best Practices: 100%; Counting the 101 lesson plans in the Guide alongside the courses.

Both figures come from a third-party audit by EdGate Correlation Services of Mango's Spanish course at levels 1-4, Novice Low through Intermediate High. They measure how much of the framework the curriculum covers, not student outcomes, and they are not an endorsement by ACTFL or by any state. In Texas the review also covered the Discovering Languages and Cultures and Special Topics in Language and Culture survey courses.

Getting it approved

What to attach to a proposal

Two documents are yours to take now, and one is specific enough to Texas that you have to ask for it.

The Mango Proficiency Scale PDF, yours to attach: Level-by-level descriptions mapped onto the ACTFL and CEFR frameworks, so you can state where each course lands in the terms your district already uses.
Download the scale
The Mango Curriculum whitepaper PDF, yours to attach: How the K-12 curriculum is built and how it aligns to state and national standards. It carries a dedicated section on alignment to world language standards, which is usually the part a reviewer asks for.
