The High School Equivalency Program is in Holden Hall. MSU HEP is known for being a secondary education program that is offering individuals who have a background of migrant or seasonal farm working experience to obtain their General Educational Development certificate. The mission that the Migrant Student Services have towards HEP is that they are wanting to be able to give migrant and seasonal farm workers an opportunity to academically prepare them to pass their GED and get their diploma. While I was volunteering with the High School Equivalency Program, I was helping students get tutored in Science, Math, Reading, and Social Studies. There were quite a few students who spoke Spanish, I offered my services more towards them. While getting

    Reflection On My Observation Of Paul Dunbar Middle School

    Wednesday, September 16th, 2015 I did my observation of Paul Dunbar Middle School. Some of the first things I noticed when I entered the school was how enormous the school’s population is and how the school was mostly Hispanic and African American students. I arrived at the front desk and was asked by the assistant principal what was my preference of classroom. She then proceeded to take me the section of the school where the ESE classes are held. ESE stands for exceptional student education classes.…

    Participant 001 Case Study

    In his interview, participant 001, an art major male Latino student described how he had to learn to navigate higher education as a student who was lacked academic preparation. Commuting to school everyday with the help of public transportation for a total of 6 hours per day, the student developed particular skills that help in the context of gaining the academic preparation he sought after. Despite the potential risks in revealing their status, students were able to skillfully develop an intuition about to whom, when, and where it would be appropriate to share this information. As participant 001 explained, “Problems with scheduling, not having my own computer. Having to use a computer at my department.…

    The Stereotypes Of Education In Stand And Deliver

    Education is the foundation of our society. It is supposed to help children of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds succeed with equal opportunity, however, this is often not the case. Race and class unfairly play an important role in whether or not schools get sufficient funding and the success rate of the students attending. Stand and Deliver, released in 1988, highlights the social issues surrounding education in a Hispanic high school in a poorer area of Los Angeles. Education in America is a major problem.…

    HCPS Analysis

    There was no staff member who could speak Spanish; however, luckily, she found an intern who spoke Spanish (personal communication, 2017). In terms of chronic absence, school social workers often work at more than one school, which may cause interventions with students to be inconsistent. As social workers attempt to meet the needs of multiple students, they may become overwhelmed with the amount of work they have to do. Although students eligible for McKinney-Vento services can receive transportation to school, if the location of the student is “not feasible” for the school, then transportation will not be provided.…

    Summary Of Magical Urbanism By Mike Davis

    Summary Of Magical Urbanism By Mike Davis

    In Magical Urbanism, Mike Davis illustrates the growing influence of Latinos in reshaping and redefining urban spaces. Furthermore, David provides a glimpse at the reality experienced by many immigrants in the West Coast and the reaction of the natives that coexist with them in those spaces. While reading this, I thought of how far-removed my own experience as a Latina in the DMV area was from those depicted in the book. I could not, for example, relate the experiences of those Latinos living in the border having to deal with racial profiling by the local police, Border Patrol, and even the DEA (pg. 43). The themes that did resonate with my experience were those found in the chapters, “Buscando América” and “Disabling Spanish.”…

    Rafaela Tutoring Observation

    Introduction Throughout the Spring 2016 semester, students were expected to volunteer at the Oasis Católico Santa Rafaela tutoring program, which located in a primarily Hispanic community with the goal of serving its local residents by tutoring children to put them on the same educational footing as native English speakers. During this volunteer work, I was exposed to challenges that I was wholly unaware of in a community that is far more underserved than I realized. I will discuss what I observed educationally from the students that I worked with and how those observations carried over from topics discussed in the course of the Education 2013 curriculum. Furthermore, I discuss some of the unique challenges faced by the “first-generation”…

    The Influence Of Bilingual Education

    Rodriguez grew up in a Spanish speaking family thriving and eager to expand his education and vocabulary in the “loud, booming with confidence” English language. According to Rodriguez, bilingual educationists have strong disbelief in the idea that schools should be assimilated with bilingual education because the students lack “a degree of ‘individuality’” This sense of individuality is absent in public society because often your heritage sets you apart from most others around you.…

    High School Field Reflection

    This reflection will be in response to the field experience that was completed on the 12th of November, 2015 by Matthew Daykin. For my High School field experience, I attended Palmetto Ridge High School and observed both Mrs. Zacher’s ninth grade English class and Mrs. Reid’s ninth grade Science and Math classes. Palmetto Ridge High School (A.K.A. “The Ridge”) is a grade 9-12 school located in Naples, Florida. The Ridge has a total of 1,865 students; 46.33% of the students are listed as identifying as White, 7.29% are listed as identifying as Black, 40.8% of the students identify as Hispanic, 1.39% of the students identify as Asian, 2.63% identify as Indian, 1.29% identify as Multi-Racial, while only 0.27% identify as Hawaiian or Pacific Islander (“Palmetto Ridge High (PRH) School”, 2015). I believe my first lesson during this field experience came about a week before I actually completed my field experience at this location.…

    DLI Classroom Reflection

    I observed at Lincoln Elementary School, in Madison. They have a Spanish English Dual Language Immersion (DLI) and an English Language Immersion (ELI) program in the same school. The classroom I observed was part of the DLI program and used a co-teaching model where both teachers are teaching at the same time. One teacher teaches in English and the other teaches in Spanish, and the students spend 50 percent of their time with each teacher. This method makes it very clear when the students are expected to change languages and allowed a larger class size to be involved in the DLI program with only one classroom.…
