85 Words1 Page

“The 1970 OCR memorandum and the Lau V. Nichols Supreme Court decision led to expansion of Title VI enforcement under the Ford and Carter administrations” (Ovando 79). The 1975 Lau Remedies provided the United States office for Civil Rights guidelines for compliance. These guidelines provided ideas for identifying language minority students and assessing their English proficiency, determining appropriate instructions, deciding their grade level, and determining the standards of teachers. The Lau Remedies created a background to develop and implement bilingual language wherever it is possible.

    148 & 163). The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 was an “updated version of the child benefit theory” where federal aid followed the poor child to open “educational opportunities” for them (p.148-149). Finally, federal aid was able to pass through Congress since the “race-religion deadlock” wasn’t an issue so much anymore, therefore the money was able to follow the poor child (Ravitch, p.148). The biggest and most obvious injustice still at that time, was the slow pace of school desegregation. So, when the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 had been passed it allowed Title VI to have actual power since it stated, “No person...shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance” (Ravitch, p. 162- 163).

  • Brown Vs Board Of Education Case Study

    1691 Words  | 7 Pages

    The struggles ELL students face within the education system may have been a bit different than blatant racism, but the core idea of poor quality assurance is rampant. Florida's own consent decree was created to help ensure the identification and processes for students in need of help with the language to better prepare ELL students for their schooling career. The struggles of course still remain as the students will need to overcome barriers of language in an environment where the teacher may or may not be ESOL endorsed. This of course is the major problem students will face in Florida, to teach in the state a teacher must have an ESOL endorsement within two years of getting their first student of another language (FDOE, 2017, p. 24). While teachers of English or language arts have to have training within their degree, teachers of science, math, social studies, and other secondary classes do not, and are only required to seek the training you once a student classified as an ELL is placed into their class.

  • Florida Consent Decree Analysis

    “The FL Consent Decree provides a structure for compliance with all the jurisprudence ensuring the rights of ELL students in Florida and equality in educational opportunities as afforded to all native-English-speaking students” (20). Non-native English speakers allow a sense of diversity in the classrooms. Diversity drives innovations, and creativity and builds on communities. The reality of community and diversity in a school environment entails that one must keep an open-mind and be willing to cooperate with others- specifically those having difficulty communicating with other students and educators because of the language barrier- and also to expand their insights on a broader scale from others indifferent to themselves rather than what they are used to encountering every day, in order to become more worldly. I completely agree with the programs that LEP students are entitled to in addition to ESOL, as they are provided to ensure equality in educational opportunities.

  • African American Vernacular English Dialect Analysis

    1357 Words  | 6 Pages

    Nearly every American speaks a dialect of English that varies from the dialect that is considered “correct,” or Standard American English (SAE); however, although dialects are entirely acceptable variants of English, some dialectal speakers experience increased prejudice and hardships due to their speech patterns, such as negative stigmas and intelligibility issues. A common hardship experienced by children who speak African American Vernacular English (AAVE), which is spoken by many African Americans, is increased difficulty mastering many literacy skills in schools. To explain, because AAVE differs in the syntax, phonology, semantics, and pragmatics from SAE, many children having difficulty mediating between the language system they are learning

    The Consent Decree (also known as the META or ESOL Consent Decree) of 1990 is Florida’s framework for compliance with federal and state laws and jurisprudence regarding the education of English Language Learners (ELLs) (Govoni & Palaez, 2011). The Florida ESOL Consent Decree came about when the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), along with other civil rights/educational community organizations, decided to sue the Florida State Board of Education. The organizations were fighting for equal educational opportunity for all students, regardless of the individual’s primary language. Students in English for Speakers of Other Language (ESOL) program were not receiving an education that met their cognitive level because teachers in most schools were not properly trained to give ELL students an appropriate education. Teachers lacked the training to facilitate equal opportunity to the students.
