This OnPoint tackles the complexity of English language learners’ needs from our point of view. We are native Polish-speaking teacher educators who use our own experiences and knowledge as English language learners in methods courses that we teach in teacher education programs in the United States. We both were born and raised in Poland, and share our passion for our native language and culture with our students, who are either already practicing public school teachers or in the process of... - 1/1/06 - Lynn K.

This On Point is for all teachers who want to explore issues around homeless children. Students who experience homelessness are people first. Like their peers, they have unique hopes, dreams, cultural heritages, abilities, disabilities, and unique personality traits. As urban schools become more sophisticated in developing their support systems for students, it is important that systems stress personalization rather than generalization. The authors discussed that homelessness is a serious... - 1/1/09 - Kozeski, Elizabeth B., Equity Alliance at ASU
"In 2000, Professor Geneva Gay wrote that culturally responsive teaching connects students’ cultural knowledge, prior experiences, and performance styles to academic knowledge and intellectual tools in ways that legitimize what students already know. By embracing the sociocultural realities and histories of students through what is taught and how, culturally responsive teachers negotiate classrooms cultures with their students that reflect the communities where students develop and grow... - 1/1/04 - National Institute for Urban School Improvement,

Almost 10 percent of American adults suffer from a depressive disorder each year; and another 11 percent experience symptoms of depression that significantly impair life
functioning, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. These figures are even higher for those living in poverty. A 2004 survey published by the Centers for Disease Control reported that “poor persons were four times as likely as non-poor persons to report serious psychological distress.” Children are not... - 1/1/09 - Institute on Community Integration,, Research and Training Center on Community Living and Employment,

"To ultimately assure that students experience a smooth and predictable climb to the top of the education ladder, state and district leaders will need a clear understanding of the basic ingredients of a coordinated system and what it will take - on the ground in schools and communities - to create one. The following is an at-a-glance look at two key elements that must be in place to create coordinated systems: 1. Effective transition programs and practices to help the child (and family... - 1/1/09 - Lisa Walker, Cheryl Smithgall
"This brief presents findings from several Chapin Hall studies on vulnerable children and youth to raise the issue of what it would mean to improve academic achievement in underperforming schools. Vulnerable children and youth are those who experience crises or disruptions in their lives, often accompanied by parental absence or inability to meet their needs, such that they are likely to become involved with public systems. The brief provides evidence that a disproportionate number of these... - 1/1/09 - Phyllis Jones
When I was a young girl living in the North East of England, our main form of transport out of the small town was a public bus. My family and I would sit in the bus shelter waiting for the bus to arrive with a sense of positive anticipation of the trip we were going to take. However, on occasion we would wait and the bus would not arrive at the scheduled time; sometimes the bus was late and sometimes it did not come at all. On many of these occasions, we had to return home or change our... - 1/1/06 - Joseph G. Kosciw, Elizabeth M. Diaz

"Critical Incident Technique (CIT) is a research strategy used to gather and analyze information from key informants about a significant experience in their lives. NECTC used CIT to investigate parents' and service providers' perceptions of transition from one service system to another for young children with disabilities and their families. Respondents in the study resided across the United States and participated in a myriad of service systems." - 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.
