Beginning with Mendez VS Westminster we have seen parents take a stand and wanting for their children to have a better education for themselves. Brown vs Education was the first movement for students themselves to want and fight for equal education rather than having their parents fight for them. Even though parents and adults did take part of the movement the students were the leaders. The…

Early Literacy and Bilingual Education for English Language Learners (ELLs) Literacy begins to develop long before children set foot in a school. Children start the process of language acquisition from infancy and continue to progress through the stages, each child at their own pace, until ultimately reaching some stage of formal literacy. Our role as educators, once these children come to our classrooms, is to detect where each one is on the Continuum and guide their progression to become…

ones who determine whether or not students understand the curriculum. Crawford begins by comparing the differing views of those in favor of bilingual education and supporters of English-only instruction. Bilingual educators have long had to explain the achievement gap between ELLs and native English speakers. I do not believe that bilingual education is the problem, but these teachers may need to be better trained to reach these unique students and their needs. As a person who has studied…

The artifact is a packet for families to take home from Early Language and Literacy Development (ECE 203R). This was the first project that I did that was for families. I did not have to send it out to families, I just had to create it. I selected this literacy packet because it was the only project I make like this. Over the semester we had focused on the language and literacy development of young children and this was one of the many projects that we had to do. The literacy packet connects…

Chapter one discusses the major changes that American education is facing regarding the language of its students. The change in major languages has sparked need for new teaching methods and styles. I think the increase of non-native speakers has improved American education. Having to make adjustments and changes requires teachers to reassess their teaching styles which is something that all educators should be actively doing.
