The Typical Day : Migrant Case Management Today

According to Latinos Rebel, undocumented students must stay enrolled in schools to remain in the United States and to contribute as gainfully employed adults, but the schools are not necessarily invested in their success as they are forced to comply with mandates of NCLB and ESSA. The fact is that school attendance and graduation rates occur in the contexts of undocumented young people’s lives, which are fraught with multiple difficulties. Undocumented students may need additional school rates are used against schools and undocumented students lives are full of many difficulties that impact their performance. These difficulties include negotiating the world in a language other than their own, lack of support for ESL, trauma, interrupted formal schooling, legal challenges and poverty. Only 54 percent of undocumented students who arrived at age 14 or older complete high school. For those who arrived before age 14, 72 percent complete. Compare these statistics to authorized

At first, Eubank did not believe her son when he complained about his mean teacher. The staff at the school suggested at her son should take medication because he was not concentrating on class. She took him to get an evaluation at Baylor University, but he was fine. After visiting the school, her eyes were opened by a student who was classmates with her son. Jessica Kelmon, an author for greatschools.org, writes that “the teacher would regularly humiliate him in front of the other students, yelling at him and slamming her hand on his desk (Kelmon).” This fourth-grade teacher is an example as to how much a teacher’s attitude toward the students affects their excitement to learn. When a student is being treated poorly by a teacher, an interesting subject can be ruined for that student.

This is to ensure that capable providers who are able to assist them are serving children and families. The administration supports a newly designed technical assistance program that brings both current and best practice evidence –informed practices for local programs. They also support the local programs working with their local school systems to be educated on the skills that children will need and the gains they will need to achieve by kindergarten in order to achieve a smooth transition into formal schooling. According to the Whitehouse, “We must support families, communities, and schools working in partnership to deliver services and supports that address the full range of needs of Hispanic students” (2011). Through early childhood education programs such as Head Starts, services are not just offered at the school programs but in the home as well. The administration believes that some of the funding that is allocated to these programs should be used in recruiting and retaining high-quality teachers this includes Latino teachers who can overcome the language barrier and help achieve the language gap. To continue these ongoing resolutions, congress recently enacted programs that support various neighborhoods. The implementation of Promise Neighborhoods projects is in the testing stage right now, where

In the past few decades there has be an increasing amount of children placed in the foster care system. With the amount of rising teen pregnancies and maternal drug abuse means increasing numbers of infants abandoned at birth. There have been many cases of child abuse or neglect that have been on the rise. State and local agencies are unable to suitably supervise foster homes or arrange adoptions. Statistics show that many children will spend most of their childhood and teenage years in the foster care system, which has shown to leave emotional scars on the child. Today, Child Welfare groups are looking for federal funding and legislation to increase programs and services aimed at keeping families together.

Immigration has been a part of American history ever since the United States was founded. American schools were built on the foundation of European traditions that have come to be problematic due to the increased number of immigrants from different regions of the world. There have been recent arguments over the quality of education migrants, legal and illegal, are receiving in secondary education. There are various differences amongst legal and illegal immigrants’ education in the United States that are controlled by environmental situations that alter achievement in the classroom. In this decade, what are school administrators doing in secondary education to prepare immigrants students to go to college, when these students are

Susan's problems with her eighth grade students comes from her lack of confidence. She seems to feel like she needs to be a similar teacher as Mr. K, since he was so well liked by the students, when in reality I thinks she must find her own teaching style that suits and comforts her but also is comforting in relationship building with her new students.

Migrant children over the years have have made up and continue to make up a large portion of the influxes of people to this country. In spite of this and the and unique problems of immigrant children, immigration law and procedure is as absent of a child-centered structure as our history is. History and law pay little attention to the immigrant child’s voice and future. An unique exception of this is that many unaccompanied migrant children in the U.S. can gain permanent residency through a Special Immigrant Juvenile visa. This is the only child-centered form of immigration relief in existence in our country. Created in 1990, SIJ status allows petitioners who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned to obtain permanent residence. This status is achieved

The costs associated with providing education, health care, and social service programs such as reduced school lunch and other anti-poverty programs like SNAP and WIC account for only a small portion of a states budget. Providing education for undocumented immigrant children only constitutes for 3.3% of the total cost, $520-535 billion, spent annually to educate all children in the U.S. (Becerra et al., 2012)

One of the goals of the Immigrant Workers Center is to increase the minimum wage to $15/hour in order to help and immigrants and offer them resources and referrals. Thus, I must have some knowledge about the governmental approach and programs available for immigrants. I need to know if those programs are efficient, how they contribute to the integration of immigrants, and if they are helpful or not. In addition, I must have some general knowledge about the immigration processes i.e. time, requirements, qualifications etc. In order to have this knowledge, I will seek out for governmental sources such as the website of the Canadian government, conservative website (for previous immigrations programs), immigrants’ témoignages to have a general

Where do we go from here? Having exhausted the vocabulary of outrage in reaction to the detestable decision of the Trump administration to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals programs (DACA) (Shear & Davis, 2017). Despite a six-month window daring Congress to come up with legislation to save the day for Dreamers, we now must turn anger into action to ensure the right outcome for undocumented youths throughout the United States. As students prepare to return to school for the coming academic year, there are 65,000 high school seniors who lack a clear path to college because they are labeled undocumented (Abrego, 2006). While undocumented students have access to K-12 public education, their options abruptly become scarce when

On Feb. 26, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review a federal judge's decision requiring the government to continue the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program. The decision is considered a setback for the Trump administration.

The next school to present was Floyd C. Fretz Middle School by their principles Mrs. Slaven and Mrs Signor. Overall, Fretz scored an 84.5%. Looking over the information they received from the state, they concluded that the math program was doing well. Mrs. Slaved credited the students for their hard work. In addition to crediting the students, the principle said that the teachers have implemented a new program called HERE. HERE is a program where a teacher “adopts” a student and mentors them whether it is to improve academically or socially. The staff at Fretz feels the program works well with students who are at risk but does not do much for the advanced students. In class we discussed that middle school is a challenging time period for adolescence. I think the program they have implemented will help to greatly ease the challenges students face. In class we

Mrs. Cirrincione has a structured morning routine. After welcoming the students, she takes attendance while the students read, sharpen pencils, and exchange books. ELA is first. While students are working silently on spelling, Mrs. Cirrincione walks around the room connecting with each student. Overall throughout the day, I noticed Mrs. Cirrincione was very engaged, never sitting at her desk unless she was conferring with a student one-on-one. Dr. Cornell, the
