1/24/09 - Alfredo Artiles, Beth Harry, Equity Alliance at ASU

The current wave of immigration is creating such an upheaval, and caught in this emotional jumble are first generation immigrant students.

On the Nexus of Race, Disability, and Overrepresentation: What do we know? Where do we go?
1/5/09 - National Institute for Urban School Improvement, , Equity Alliance at ASU
The ethnic overrepresentation of students in special education programs in this country has been a recognized problem for more than 30 years. Simply defined, overrepresentation, or the disproportionate placement of students of a given ethnic group in special education programs, means that the percentage of students from that group in such programs is disproportionally greater than their percentage in the school population as a whole.1 Currently, African Americans tend to be significantly...
The Role of Cognition, Motivation, and Emotion in Explaining the Mathematics Achievement Gap Between Hispanic and White Students
1/1/06 - Stevens, Tara, Olivárez, Arturo, Jr., Hamman, Doug
The authors investigated the relationships between cognitive, motivational, and emotional variables across Hispanic and White students to predict mathematics performance. A theoretically based structural model fit a total sample of 666 4th- to 10th-grade students well, supporting that self-efficacy, sources of self-efficacy, and emotional feedback were all stronger predictors of mathematics performance than general mental ability. Tests of the structural model across ethnicity suggested a...

Self-regulation and the income-achievement gap
1/1/08 - Evans, Gary W., Rosenbaum, Jennifer
Abstract: The pervasive income-related achievement gap among children has been partially explained by parental investments. Wealthier parents provide more cognitively enriched environments (e.g., books, informal learning opportunities such as music lessons) and converse more with their children relative to low-income parents. However parental investment only partially accounts for the income-achievement gap. On average, low-income children have more difficulty regulating their emotions and...
Teaching Your Child About Feelings from Birth to Age 2
1/18/09 - Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning,
Young children experience many of the same emotions adults do. Children can feel angry, jealous, excited, sad, silly, frustrated, happy, and worried. The difference is that very young children—ages birth to 3—often lack the selfcontrol and language skills to express their strong feelings in ways that adults find acceptable. Instead, babies and toddlers communicate strong emotions through their sounds and actions.
