All of our students are on spring break right now, so I am back in our downtown office this week. This time away from school has been a good opportunity to catch up on the latest publications.
Because No Child Left Behind requires schools to promote progress in a number of groups, including English language learners, it is not surprising to see an increased concern over how to work with this group of students to increase their academic achievement. Here are two articles from just the past month about strategies that programs like ours can use to address the needs of these youth:
Gaining Ground: Supporting English Learners Through After-School Literacy Programming
Serving Recent Immigrant Students Through School-Community Partnerships
As we develop our programming to improve our effectiveness at helping students build their skills and knowledge, it is very useful to find new ideas and confirmation of our earlier observations in the current research.
