This practitioner brief deals with how to address educational needs of culturally and linguistically diverse students. It applies to all parents and teachers of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) children. The authors of this article suggest that as more and more students from diverse backgrounds populate 21st century classrooms and efforts mount to identify effective methods to teach these students, the need for pedagogical approaches that are culturally responsive intensifies... - 1/1/06 - Cathy Kea, Gloria D.

This practitioner brief deals with designing teacher education programs (TEPs) that are mindful of student diversity. It applies to all teacher educators, teachers and parents. Despite the steadily increasing numbers of culturally and linguistically diverse student populations in schools, not all TEPs readily embrace multicultural education or culturally responsive teacher education pedagogy. In this brief, the authors demonstrate the need for rethinking current approaches to teacher... - 1/1/08 - Center for Mental Health in Schools,
“Supporters of Community Schools often are drawn to the term because of their concern with improving school climate, focusing on the whole child. Addressing diversity needs, and taking a ‘broader and bolder approach’ in order to transform public education. Diverse concepts commonly raised in discussions of Community Schools include establishing a psychological sense of community; promoting well-being, resilience, and protective factors; increasing student and family empowerment and... - 1/1/07 - The National Task Force on Early Childhood Education for Hispanics,
Throughout this policy brief, Hispanic readiness and achievement patterns in reading and mathematics are compared to the patterns for non-Hispanic Whites who are third generation Americans. This is because Whites still constitute a majority of U.S. students; and, most Whites are third generation Americans. However, in Appendix 1, some reading readiness and achievement data are presented for Asian Americans and African Americans, owing to the growing racial/ethnic diversity of the United States. - 1/1/06 - Johnstone, C. , Altman, J., Thurlow, M.
The purpose of this guide is to provide states with strategies for designing tests from the very beginning, through conceptualization and item construction, field-testing, item reviews, statewide operationalization, and evaluation. The objective is to create tests that present an accurate measure of the knowledge and skills of the diverse population of students enrolled in today’s public schools. - 1/1/09 - Elizabeth Kozleski, Amanda Sullivan

The results indicate that in most states both American Indian and Alaska Native students and all other students experienced achievement gains across the study period. Although achievement gaps were generally found to persist, the American Indian and Alaska Native students were at least keeping pace by increasing in achievement along with all other students. The majority of states with three or four years of continuous data saw an increase in the proficiency rates of American Indian and... - 1/1/08 - Julio Cammarota
Throughout the 1990’s, I documented the education, work and family experiences of Latino youth in California (see my book, Suenos Americanos). My intention was to understand how young Latinos might achieve some success (i.e. educational achievement or decent employment) in a hostile political and economic environment. The most surprising finding of my research was that Latina females fared much better than Latino males, sometimes within the same family. - 1/1/04 - Alfredo Artiles, Beth Harry
Do bias or inappropriate practice play a role in the placement of culturally and linguistically diverse students in special education? Is the representation of low-income students in special education programs larger than their representation in the school population at your child’s school? If the answers to these questions are yes, it is possible your child’s school may be facing a problem that is called “overrepresentation” in its special education programs. This paper is one of... - Thurlow, M., Durán, R., Kato, K., Albus, D.
This report is a first look at the before- and after-school care, programs, and activities of language minority children based on the National Household Education Survey: 2001. It describes the characteristics of the children and their before- and after-school care, programs, and activities, and also examines the relationship of some of these to school grades and school problems, two important outcome variables. The report also looks for the first time at the group of language minority... - 1/1/07 - Koretz, D., Kim, Y.
In a pair of recent studies, Fryer and Levitt (2004a, 2004b) analyzed the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study – Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K) to explore the characteristics of the Black-White test score gap in young children. They found that the gap grew markedly between kindergarten and the third grade and that they could predict the gap from measured characteristics in kindergarten but not in the third grade. In addition, they found that the widening of the gap was differential across... - 1/1/07 - National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness,
Provides details about the population of children who are deaf-blind, including the classification of vision and hearing loss, the types of additional disabilities that may be present, and the causes of deafblindness. Vignettes and photos of four children who are deaf-blind illustrate the diversity of this unique group of children. Information from the population is drawn from annual child count data reported in The National Deaf-Blind Child Count: 1998–2005 in Review. - 1/1/04 - National Center for Culturally Responsive Educational Systems,
Culturally responsive educational systems are grounded in the belief that culturally and linguistically diverse students can excel in academic endeavors. Leaders at all levels require knowledge of professional development design, the change process, research findings, data-supported decision making, and an array of leadership and communication skills and processes. Effective leadership development supports participants in accessing and applying culturally responsive practices. The academies... - 1/1/08 - National Center for Culturally Responsive Educational Systems,
Culturally responsive literacy models examine not only the methods of teaching students to engage with and learn from multiple texts, but also consider the many purposes for which individuals become literate. This module examines the purposes of literacy in students' lives, methods of designing and implementing culturally responsive literacy instruction, and the use of many forms of literacy as powerful tools for student engagement in school and social change. Participants are guided through...
