Title: Education of Latino Students: Is School Reform Enough?
Body: From: "Anselmo Villanueva" http://www.ericfacility.net/databases/ERIC_Digests/ed410367.html ERIC Identifier: ED410367 Publication Date: 1997-07-00 Author: Trueba, Enrique T. - Bartolome, Lilia I. Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Urban Education New York NY. The Education of Latino Students: Is School Reform Enough? ERIC/CUE Digest, Number 123. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC With an overall population in the United States rapidly approaching 25 million, and a majority of the student population in some of the largest school districts, Latinos are arguably worse off today than in previous decades (Portes, 1996; Suarez-Orozco & Suarez-Orozco, 1995a; 1995b; Valencia, 1991a; 1991b). Yet, the resilience of Latino students and their potential for academic success are significant (Diaz Salcedo, 1996). It is essential to capitalize on the strengths of Latino students because the economic and technological future of this country depends on their educational success, and the success of African Americans and Asians, since these three groups together will constitute an increasingly large portion of the total U.S. population by the mid twenty-first century. This digest provides a critique of the various educational strategies that have been used with Latino students, and suggests alternatives that may prove more effective. Interestingly, some of the recommendations included here were first made nearly 20 years ago, but they have not yet been widely implemented. The paper discusses the following: TRADITIONAL APPROACHES TO THE EDUCATION OF LATINO STUDENTS HISTORICAL EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE THE "DEFICIT" VIEW OF LATINO STUDENTS EDUCATIONAL REFORM STRATEGIES NEW APPROACHES TO LATINO STUDENT EDUCATION TEACHER PREPARATION EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES

Title: Overcoming the Fourth-Grade Slump
Body: From: OELA Tess Kalinowski writes in the Toronto Star that research has shown that ESL students and children from economically disadvantaged homes keep pace with the other students until grade 4 when the vocabulary and concepts become more complex. During the last two years, local school officials have worked with professors Jim Cummins and Sandra Schecter to "develop ways of reinforcing students' language skills, both in English and the literacies they learn in their homes" to prevent the fourth grade decline. In the beginning, educators wanted to highlight students' abilities in their native languages. However, when they began searching for dual-language books, they found that there were "so few available, they decided to have the children write their own stories." The resulting series of books includes subjects such as ethnic folktales and alien invasions. These books not only entertain incoming English-language learners in their own language, but also assist teachers in assessing students? literacy. The project, known as the Dual Language Showcase, "was so successful in drawing the...community together, raising students' language skills and self-esteem" that the idea was expanded. At a recent literacy conference, professor Cummins and a colleague revealed a new computer program they have been working on to assist students in mastering the academic language needed to succeed in school.
