Brokering Tareas
Author: Steven AlvarezPublisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438467214
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Winner of the 2019 Outstanding Book in Community Writing Award presented by the Coalition for Community Writing Brokering Tareas examines a grassroots literacy mentoring program that connected immigrant parents with English language mentors who helped emerging bilingual children with homework and encouraged positive academic attitudes. Steven Alvarez gives an ethnographic account of literacies practices, language brokering, advocacy, community-building, and mentorship among Mexican-origin families at a neighborhood afterschool program in New York City. Alvarez argues that engaging literacy mentorship across languages can increase parental involvement and community engagement among immigrant families, and offers teachers and researchers possibilities for rethinking their own practices with the communities of their bilingual students.
Mi Padre
Author: Sarah GalloPublisher: Teachers College Press
ISBN: 0807775649
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Mi Padre centers on the promise of parent involvement practices that build upon the range of linguistic and sociocultural resources that Latin immigrant students and their families bring to school. Through the experiences of Mexican immigrant fathers and their children, this book illustrates the need for humanizing family engagement. Gallo identifies the many ways these fathers contribute to their children’s education and how educators can communicate more effectively with immigrant families. Mi Padre also shows the consequences of deportation-based immigration policies on elementary school education and offers strategies for supporting students and their families in the classroom. The author stresses the importance of learning from and with families and offers practical suggestions for how to build relationships with all caregivers as a counterpractice to the one-size-fits-all schooling that many teachers, students, and families experience today. “By highlighting fathers with a deep longing for the benefits and opportunities that a good education can offer their children, Sarah Gallo has documented how these men redefine what it means to be engaged in their children’s schooling. Teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and others will all benefit from this beautiful and powerful book.” —Sonia Nieto, professor emerita, University of Massachusetts, Amherst “A compelling and lucid example of activist scholarship rooted in rigorous ethnographic inquiry . . . a must-read for pre- and inservice teachers grappling with how to work in solidarity with families that are threatened by racism and exclusionary notions of citizenship.” —Gerald Campano, University of Pennsylvania, author of Partnering with Immigrant Communities
Multicultural Literature for Latino Bilingual Children
Author: Ellen Riojas ClarkPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1475814933
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
While there are volumes that fall into the category of children’s literature, there appears to be relatively few that explore the needs of bilingual learners and the linguistic and sociocultural context of Latino children’s literature. This volume makes a needed contribution by addressing the social, cultural, academic, and linguistic needs of Latino bilingual learners who are still underserved through current school practices. We aim to conceptualize different forms of social knowledge so that they can serve as cultural resources for learning, acquiring knowledge, and transforming self and identity. This volume presents a balance of theory, research, and practice that speak to authentic multicultural Latino literature and helps ensure its availability for all students. The intended outcome of this volume then is to create a heightened awareness of the cultural and linguistic capital held by the Latino community, to increase Latino students’ social capital through the design of critical pedagogical practices, and for the formulation of a new perspective, that of Latino multicultural literature for children.
Family Literacy Practices in Asian and Latinx Families
Author: Jorge E. GonzalezPublisher: Palgrave Macmillan
ISBN: 9783031144691
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book focuses on the literacy beliefs and practices of parents and children from Asian and Latinx heritage backgrounds. In the US, children from Asian and Latinx immigrant backgrounds represent the largest population of dual language learners in schools. While existing research has paid significant attention to the roles of parenting and the home literacy environment on children's literacy development, relatively little attention has been allocated to immigrant families. Chapters aim to meet the need in the field to understand the roles of culture and immigrant experiences on children's literacy learning and development, including immigrant families' home environments and parents' involvement in literacy-related activities in both English and the parents' native language. As Hispanic/Latinx and Asian American populations grow in the US, this book answers an urgent call for school systems and child and family professionals to be aware of issues in this area and how to address them in culturally responsive ways.

Mexican Immigrants Families' Traditional and Non-traditional Language and Literacy Practices at Home that Prepare Children for School in the United States
Author: Jerome Chavez ZamoraPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Children of immigrants
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
This qualitative study investigates the at-home educational efforts of six immigrant families as they prepare their children for school in the United States. The participants' at-home educational activities were provided by the Mexican immigrant families using photographs of activities that they judged as skills which developed the child's ability to engage with other children, teachers, and the curriculum on their first day at school. Photovoice methodology was used in order to provide the Mexican immigrants' voice. The families were recruited from a large urban city in the Southwest with a large immigrant population. They were recruited from medical centers, social support centers, churches with immigrant communities, and schools that had Mexican immigrant children in attendance. The schools and churches provided the greatest source of participants. The educational level of the parents varied from over fifteen years to three years of schooling in Mexico. The children in the study were citizens of the United States, were from two to four years of age, had not yet attended school in the U.S., but had siblings attending public schools in the United States. The families opened their life to the researcher and provided an insight through their photographs that could not have been gained if only interviews and/or questionnaires were used. The twenty five photographs selected to identify the six educational themes that were highlighted throughout the study are demonstrative of what the families in the study were doing to prepare their children for their first day of school. Mexican immigrant parents have high expectations for their children and are willing to sacrifice for the childrens' education.
