The federal government has changed the ground work and the organization of scholastic lessons in the educational systems in 2001 with the “No Child Left behind Act”. The law say that each state is to embrace English Language Learners in the state assessment and evaluate the student’s language skill “with valid, reliable assessments in the areas of oral language and reading and writing skills, more specifically comprehension, speaking, listing, reading, and writing”(Cook, 2007). The requirements of these assessment also include assisting in the students’ accomplishment of the state’s academic achievement standards. Since the federal standards has been made to the educational system there needs to be a new method created and evaluated in the way that states and schools can continue adjusting and properly evaluating English Language Learners.…
The objective of this study was to examine the progress of Latino students with ED when assigned to culturally competent teachers in their school environment in addition to the other school supports they receive. For the purpose of this research; cultural competence is defined as the process through which teachers are trained in the following areas: (a) awareness of one’s own cultural perspective, (b) awareness of attitudes towards cultural differences, (c) development of cross cultural skills and ability to implement different cultural practices and interventions. In this experimental design a total of 20 participants who met specific criteria (a) ages between 9-11 years, (b) enrolled in ED support classes, (c) enrolled in the 4th academic grade and (d) children of Latino/Hispanic ethnicity/descent were randomly assigned into two groups (n=10).

Much emphasis is placed by our school's P.T.A and parent liaison team on strategies to attract Latin American family to a predominantly African American school. Participation level from Spanish-speaking parents has steadily grown over the years, but it’s not at the level desired by school staff.…

I agree and believe that educators want students to become lifelong learners and develop critical thinking skills. I think that failure should not be feared, because from failure comes learning and through assessments learn what needs to be improved and why it failed. I work with ELL students, abed they are adults, so I have heard arguments that only a full immersion program teaches students a foreign language or English - in our case. I have also hear arguments against bilingual education in that it promotes antisocial relationships between native speakers and ESL students. One think everyone agree on in Gardner and Lambert's claim that learning second languages occurs if the (students and adults) are fluent in their first language (Gardner…
I will create lesson plans that will engage all students. I will make sure there are hands on activities for my ELL students.…
This legislation established that the funding for the education of ELLs would become available through both Title VII and Title I funds. This legislation was important for ELLs since it promoted moving away from the remedial model of bilingual education toward an approach of enrichment and innovation (Ovando & Combs, 2012). The implementation of two-way developmental bilingual education was promoted as part of the educational reform for ELLs due to its proven success in developing fluency and literacy in both languages (Ovando & Combs,…
The paper's foundation lies on the fact that Mexican American students struggle in U.S. schools and the current system set up does not address these students needs. It argues that the educators of today need to come together and change the current system to take into account the significant faults that the system has. The first two paragraphs introduce the issue and provide necessary background information for the reader. The paper then delves into the changes that need to happen building upon the common hardships that these students have through a study on the College Assistance Migrant Program, conducted by Professor of Education, Reynaldo Reyes. The introductory paragraphs lead smoothly into the first point that I make in my paper, transitioning with "these students don't start out with the same learning environment, causing them to struggle. Very few programs available for students address the common hardships that these students have"(2). The smooth transitions help connect the paragraphs, resulting in a fluid paper. Even the texts analyzed in the study connect with each other by supporting the common goal of improving Mexican American education. The complexity of the task of improving Mexican American education is highlighted by the way the body paragraphs analyze the school contexts of their education as well as, the goals of current programs…
There are quite a few societal concerns young immigrant children experience when assimilating to the American society. The public school system must take into consideration the needs of immigrant children as they adapt to the American culture. This transition has developed an ethical dilemma in the public school system, by raising a high demand to integrate cultural diversity in the curriculum; even though it is not identified as a skill standard by the state. However, due to the rapid growth of immigrant children in the United States, as part of my future early childhood education career, I will examine the well-being of the immigrant children and address the strategies that can improve their educational fulfillment, as well as their health,…
It’s important to able to communicate clearly with children of all ages, having a clear communication will help children to understand what are expected of them also it will help them to have a good communication skills. In order to work with children/young people you need to establish a good relationship and show them that you are an approachable person. Communication isn’t a one-way process when you’re working to build a good relationship with children, it’s important to encourage them and interact with them for example when working with young children it’s good to make then involved by ask them to help you with activities such as helping to put up a display, help to choose activities for the day rather than telling them what to do. It’s important to acknowledging their advice and ideas, if you encourage children to make suggestions it’s important not to disregard them or otherwise they will learn that the is no point in saying anything, so when ideas or suggestions cannot be used or acknowledge its good to explain why you might not able to follow them up.…
