By including a personal example of a bilingual student in the South, Carsen proves that his research is credible as the title of the article is “Bilingual education in the South.” In addition to his interview with a student, Carsen also interviews an English as a Second Language (ESL) specialist and a worker of the state education department to gather different viewpoints on the matter. Incorporating interviews with specialists in foreign language and education adds to Carsen’s credibility because his argument revolves around these two elements. Carsen also includes his

During the observation portion of this assignment, I observed in a fifth grade ELL classroom. The teacher in charge of this class is Anissa Rose. She has been an ELL teacher for many years and teaches students in kindergarten through the 8th grade. This paper will discuss whether or not the students were aware of the class language and content objective, how the teacher instructed the content and language objectives, the type of group configurations, and how the teacher accommodated for different ELP levels.
What are schools required to do to determine whether a child comes from a home that speaks a language other than English? What are requirements for testing, assessment and placement of ELLs?

One strategy to help parents would be to conduct a workshop, or multiple session workshops, for parents in help them learn how to participate in their children’s learning process. It is also stated that schools must empower parents who may feel “less useful in school work due to lack of formal literacy skills” (Njeru, 2015). Many parents in low SES communities do not have the skills to work with their children at home. Classes should be held in order to teach the skills that parents need. Once parents are given the training that they need they can help their students succeed.
A classroom should be filled with a wide variety of languages, experiences, and cultural diversity. An effective teacher understands the importance of culturally responsive teaching, and recognizes the significance of including students ' cultural references in all aspects of learning. Having an enriching classroom that engages all students does not mean making judgments about a student’s culture based on their skin color, gender, or socioeconomic status, rather it means knowing each student in a way that is individualized. According to the authors of The First Day of School: How to be an Effective Teacher Harry Wong, race, gender, religion, financial statue, and skin color is the least important factor determining a student’s achievement. Moreover, demographics and culture are not an excuse for students’ lack of achievement.

Introduction “Every school day in the United States for the past decade, more than 3,000 students have dropped out of high school (Joftus), 2000).” This is becoming an epidemic because literacy is simply not just being able to read or write your name. The rigors for the literacy curriculum have become much more complex and require students to be able to comprehend and state their input on different reading texts from a variety of sources. A vast amount of the funds from the federal government has been targeted towards the reading for primary grades. Secondary students such as high school students may find it difficult to transition to a higher reading level because of the complexity.
After my own struggle with learning English, I now help my parents out by acting as their translator, which includes going to doctor 's appointment and school conferences. As their daughter, I wanted my parents to gain more independence in doing daily tasks, such as having a basic conversation with another
We have a responsibility to these children to be committed to them, to help them achieve to their highest potential and to respect and to support any disabilities or special needs that a child may have. It is very important that we create a safe and healthy environment so that children can grow socially, cognitively and can physically develop. It is also very important that we respect their self-worth and what they can contribute when they are in class every day. It is also vital that we as educators acknowledge and value a child’s culture, language, ethnicity and family structure and that we are able to provide the help they will need to learn English and help them to keep and honor their home language. The Ethical Responsibilities to Family section (2005), family is very important in the development of children and I have to agree that developing a good relationship with
The Education of Immigrant Children Introduction Each year there are a numerous circumstances immigrant children face in order to get the proper education they need. Researchers have recognized the importance of children education and have found a three-pronged approach on how to handle this issue by removing barriers and provide funds to postsecondary schools that will lead children to be successful in the future, improve ECE participation rates among immigrant children, and having parental and family involvement to help their kids more to give them a better understanding in school. The Problem According to researchers, immigrant children in school are affected in several ways, some ways that later on in the future they might not
Simply because we do not speak English very well does not mean that we cannot support our children to succeed in school. We value education, and there is much that we do at home every day. And staying involved in the school to watch over them is an extension of our parental responsibility" (Randy, 2009). This effort shows us some of the parents who care about their children and their children 's education; even if those parents did not speak fluent English, they must provide assistance even a little, whether for their children or teachers. Parental interest in their children makes teachers in enthusiasm and motivation to provide assistance to these
I will take this area of diversity with me throughout my teaching as I feel that it is generally overlooked in schools. The language that some textbooks, exam papers and even teachers use is not suited to the students. The students are not at that level linguistically so I feel that teachers should be aware of this, and incorporate it into their teaching. This could be done by avoiding bias within chosen texts or the assessment techniques applied. The language I use in the classroom should not hinder one group of students and give advantage to
Therefore, students need to be helped perform at their level of ability in order to succeed. Building a strong parent-teacher relationship will benefit the three participants; the parent, the teacher and most importantly, the child him/herself (Holdaway, 1979). Continuous contact and help from the parents will help the educator relate his/her classroom environment with what the students experience within their home environment. Therefore, this puts the responsibility on all the adults present in the child’s life to ensure that the experiences that the child is facing are helping him/her extend his/her learning achievement (Dombro,
Literature Review Social Support Albrecht and Adelman’s study (as cited in Kendall Hunt Publishing Co., 2011) provided a definition of social support as “verbal and non-verbal communication between recipients and providers that reduces uncertainty about the situation, the self, the other, or the relationship, and functions to enhance a perception of personal control in one’s life experience”. Social support is any type of communication that helps an individual feel more secure or certain about a situation and therefore being able to feel that they have control over a situation (2011, Kendall Hunt Publishing Co.). According to Hunt, social support emphasizes the availability of the network of people that provides support, therefore, the presence
