Forming and maintaining positive relationships within a school setting is of great importance. To have good relationships with pupils, staff and parents is not only beneficial to the school but also to pupil’s achievement.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how the Federal Bilingual Education Act of 1968, ended the War on Poverty. Bilingual education is the use of more than one language to deliver curriculum content. The bilingual education system is designed for students to become proficient in English, and also encourage students to become bi-cultural; and function in two, or more linguistic and cultural groups. The policy expressed U.S commitment to the needs of the growing number of children in the public schools, whose first language was not English. In 1968, the government passed the Bilingual Education Act, which required language minority students to be taught in both their native language and English. I myself had to undergo English as a

Based upon the Bilingual Education Act of 1968, all English Language Learners (ELLs) “shall be kept in an adequate program until they can read, write, and comprehend English well enough to participate meaningfully in all aspects of the school’s curriculum (Education Commission of the States (ECS) website, n.d., para. 4). While keeping these parameters in mind, I began taking a closer look at the support my school district has in place to aid in the education of ELLs (primarily Hispanic) and their families. Drawing upon my years spent at both the elementary and secondary levels in my district, I would conclude that there is not enough being done to ensure that our ELLs can meaningfully

The Bilingual Education Act of 1968 provides a clear perspective on the issue of the public policy process. It started out with a clear goal in mind: to provide instruction to non-English students in American schools by providing some teaching in their native language along with English. The act was a part of the broader Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and a part of the Civil Rights movement because of its issues relating to language and culture. It was particularly aimed to the large amount of Hispanic immigrants in the American Southwest. The provides an issue that is complex and changing rapidly especially in today’s multiethnic and multilinguistic United States society.

In Sara Gonzalez essay “Growing Up Bilingual” she gives a personal experience with The United States educational system on bilingual education. After arriving in the United States with two small children 30 years ago. She thought well about the school system and depended on them to teach her son English. Later that week she received a call from his teacher and principle to come in for a meeting. During that meeting her son and her was insulted by them stating “Is your son mentally retarded?

An impressive 16.2% of students in the Federal Way public school system self-identify as Hispanic (U.S. Census, 2013) [primary]. Of these students, 23.9% are foreign born (U.S. Census, 2013) [primary]. These students are often multilingual, switching to Spanish when home. In fact, 32.4 percent of students speak a different language at home (U.S. Census, 2013) [primary]. It should not come as a surprise that language is a major component of one’s culture. Most American schools place a heavy emphasis on

The researcher determines that having stronger teacher-student relationships can lead to greater social-emotional developments because students feel more comfortable to take risks both socially and academically. Small schools have smaller

The United States is a diverse country of many cultures and languages. As diverse as the U.S. is, it is also the land were all dreams become a reality where everything is possible. That is why in recent years, bilingual education or dual-language education, has become a topic of interest and debate among the public. Some may think that bilingual education is waste of time, effort and money. However, these critics do not see the true benefits of a bilingual education. We need to focus on the positive aspects of a bilingual education and how it has benefited not only immigrant students but also American students among other matters.

Before outlining the arguments for and against bilingual education, it is first necessary to provide an overview of the controversy over bilingual education, and its emergence as a national debate. This controversy is basically centered on the question: Should the United States government incorporate the teaching of different languages into the public school system or not? Although it is currently permissible to learn secondary languages such as Spanish, French, German and Latin in public middle schools and high schools in the U.S., such classes have traditionally been geared toward broadening the educational experience for native English-speaking students. Therefore, rather than providing assistance to students whose native languages are not English, classes in American public schools are taught in English, despite the fact that increasing numbers of students in some areas of the U.S. do not speak English as their first language. In 1998, for example, (the most recent year for which statistics were available), statistics indicated that there were some

Schools and childcare establishments need to have establish a suitable environment that will support the social and emotional development of a child. A positive social setting is created by a variety of factors which could stem from something as simple as in inclusion of parenting support to the policies and procedures in regards to discipline of children. Some factors that should be taken into consideration when evaluating a suitable social environment might be, the teaching methods, polices on grading and the principles or directors leadership style. It can be said that the major determining factor for a child’s social development is the quality of the relationships held between students and their peers, and the relationship between teachers and students. Children must be constantly encouraged to work together with their peers as the relationships/friendships they form are detrimental to developing their social skills. This can be encouraged by creating games and opportunities for children to engage in large group, small group and one-on-one

The article, “Creating Birds of Similar Feathers” concerns, issues and topics related to the importance of the teacher-student relationships (TSRs) since it increases students’ performance in class. Therefore, this article relates to teaching and learning because having a good teacher-student relationship is one of the main ingredients in making a classroom well-organized, student-friendly, and comfortable. Without this, teachers would experience difficulty in teaching his or her students as well as for students to learn a lesson if there is lack of communication. From this article, the two points that I found important to the topic are 1) Students learn best and score higher when proper communication and relationship is applied in class; and 2) Teachers should start the first day of class through social activities.

The article states that “existing research suggests that if students have close relationships with their teachers, they tend to display more prosocial behaviors toward

Establishing rapport with students is extremely important. Students should feel like a teacher genuinely cares about their well-being. Trust is an important component of the classroom learning environment. A student should respect and trust his or her teacher and the teacher should be respectful of his or her students and their families. This will encourage a nurturing learning environment and decrease behavioral problems in the classroom. When the teacher is consistently supporting the rules, and allowing the students to feel safe in the classroom, trust begins to develop. Teachers have to work to develop trust and respect in the classroom due to the fact that children in today’s world are often mistrusting because of society’s messages of the world being dangerous (world-view) as well as their own direct experiences (self-view) with abuse, violence, and neglect.
