Book Synopsis The Children of Mexican Immigrants in U.S. Schools by : Uvaldina Janecek
Download or read book The Children of Mexican Immigrants in U.S. Schools written by Uvaldina Janecek and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The influx of Mexican immigrants has posed enormous challenges to the nation's public school systems where migration is rapidly increasing. The high Hispanic dropout rate points to a failure in educating Latinos and has received ample attention from researchers, educators, and policymakers; but the achievement disparities persist. Using the lens of critical theory to investigate the presence of a "hidden curriculum" that promotes the dominant ideology in our public school system, this study explores perception gaps between Mexican immigrant parents and the American teachers of their children in a suburban Texas school district where Latinos are in the minority. The project applies a mixed method analysis using parallel survey items and qualitative input to address the following questions: (1) What perceptions and knowledge about education do Mexican immigrant families posses? (2) What perceptions of the culture and educational background of Mexican immigrants do U.S. teachers of Mexican-origin children possess? (3) What are the gaps in these perceptions and knowledge? (4) How do the immigrant families' perceptions and knowledge of the host culture affect their efforts to access U.S. educational opportunities? (5) What potential do these gaps have to affect the education of Mexican immigrant children in U.S. schools? The analysis uncovered the following perception, knowledge, and institutional gaps: (a) the inadequacy of preservice and inservice training for American teachers that serve Mexican-origin students and their families; (b) communication gaps between immigrant parents and teachers, especially secondary and general education teachers; (c) an undervaluation by teachers of immigrant parents' cultural and educational background and parents' capabilities to help their children academically; (d) a disregard for the previous studies of students transferring from Mexican schools; and (e) a failure on the part of the campuses to adequately provide parent involvement activities in the Spanish language. The findings of this study imply that Mexican immigrant families' experiences in this Texas suburban district affect their efforts to fully participate in U.S. educational opportunities because their communication with teachers, school staff and administrators is impeded by cultural and institutional barriers. The findings also indicate narrow prospects for immigrant parents' participation in the traditional campus parent involvement activities.
Book Synopsis Understanding Mexican American Parents' Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Language Learning by : Claudia Alexa Corniel
Download or read book Understanding Mexican American Parents' Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Language Learning written by Claudia Alexa Corniel and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino-Hispanic students currently begin their educational career learning less and underperforming their White counterparts. With this learning trajectory, Latino-Hispanic students are falling behind their peers, most notably within the core subject area of language arts. This achievement gap is a problematic issue that legislators, schools and educators continue to debate over how to effectively resolve. This study utilized a quantitative research approach to investigate attitudes and behaviors of Mexican American parents towards their children’s language learning. The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of parents’ language use, children’s language use at home, parents’ education levels, and household income on the perceptions of Mexican American parents with respect to their child’s language learning, the kinds of support they provide at home around language learning, and their engagement with school-based parental involvement activities. SPSS 22.0 was used to analyze the survey data. Descriptive statistics and mean scores were used to calculate frequencies of parental engagement and perceived value of language learning respectively. Overall, the findings suggest that Mexican American parents value their children’s language learning. Moreover, that they are involved with their child’s language learning in varying degrees. Implications of this study point towards more parent-teacher collaboration and a more efficient way of parent volunteer utilization in the classroom.
Book Synopsis An Exploratory Study of the Perceptions and Experiences of U.s.-born Latino Parents in a High-poverty Urban School District in Relation to Their Role in the Education of Their Children by : Sylvia Ramirez Reyna

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative interpretive research study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of seven second- and third-generation U.S.-born Latino parents in a high-poverty urban school district in Texas regarding their role in their children0́9s schooling. Specifically, this study was organized to understand what the selected Latino parents perceived as parent involvement, what expectations they had of the school and, conversely, what expectations the school personnel had of them, and finally, what perceptions the parents held about their role in school-parent activities. Though parent involvement is considered to be one of the most important factors in a child0́9s success in school, this study also explored the perceived chasm in the alignment between the school and the home of the U.S.-born Latino family. The interpretative approach and dialogical exchange, through a semi-structured interview process, provided the opportunity to add the voices of second- and third-generation U.S.0́3born Latino parents to the current discourse about parent involvement. All of the participants met a general description as a second- or third-generation U.S.-born Latino, whose primary language is English, whose children have been involved in the identified school system for at least five years and were academically successful, and who the school considered to be uninvolved in the schooling process. The data analysis process involved a methodical process of breaking down the information presented in in-depth interview transcripts, observation, field notes, documents, and participant and researcher texts. By using a focused coding technique, patterns or concepts that best represented the participants0́9 voices surfaced. The codes were reviewed and categories or themes were then developed. The parents0́9 voices also provided information suggesting that the perceived lack of participation in the sanctioned school activities by some U.S.0́3born Latino parents stems from an apparent failure on the part of school personnel to recognize the cultural capital and richness of the culturally diverse household. Specifically, through the theoretical framework of funds of knowledge, the stories of the seven second- and third-generation U.S.-born Latinos noted that Latino families have assets that contribute to the academic success of their children, yet they are often dismissed by school personnel.

Book Synopsis The Voices of Latino Parents by : Evangelina M. Cantu
Download or read book The Voices of Latino Parents written by Evangelina M. Cantu and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant evidence suggests that parent participation and involvement are beneficial for student success. Latino parents, however, have historically been portrayed negatively in their role in their children's education. Deficit thinking paradigms have framed much of the negative depictions about Latino parents. This study proposes that the negative portrayals of Latino parents may in part be a result of how parent involvement has been traditionally defined. Schools define parent involvement in ways that Latino parents may not conform to. As a result, schools label parents as non-involved. In an effort to demystify the myth that Latino parents do not value nor care for their children's education, this study set out to examine Latino parents' perceptions about parent involvement as well as how they involve themselves in their children's education. The findings suggest that Latino parents define and perceive parent involvement in ways that differ significantly from the way schools have defined it. Furthermore, parents' perceptions of their roles, the role of the school and the teachers point to a need to examine how these perceptions intersect with the perceptions of the school and the teachers. This study presents an alternative way to view parent involvement. It is concluded that the negative depiction of Latino parents is due in part to the fact that schools are expecting them to conform to practices and engage in activities that are not necessarily what they view as important in their children's education. Further research that provides a more inclusive definition and expands the discourse about Latino parent involvement is suggested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Latino Education Crisis" not only threatens to dash the middle class aspirations of the nation's largest immigrant group, it is also an ominous sign for democratic engagement and global competitiveness for U.S. society as a whole. This timely book argues that this crisis is more aptly characterized as a "Mexican Education Crisis." This book brings together voices that are rarely heard on the same stage—Mexican and U.S. scholars of migration, schooling, and human development—to articulate a new approach to Mexican-American schooling: a bi-national focus that highlights the interpersonal assets of Mexican-origin children. Contributors document the urgency of adopting this approach and provide a framework for crossing national and disciplinary borders to improve scholarship, policy, and practice associated with PreK–12 schooling.
Download or read book Mi Padre written by Sarah Gallo and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

This book was released on 2006 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation study examined school, family, and community partnerships among Hispanic parents whose children were enrolled in a school district's Migrant Education Program (MEP). I was guided by the following main question: What issues do parents discuss regarding school, family, and community partnerships? Data were collected from interviews, artifacts, and field notes. Participant observation was conducted at the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) meetings and at The Bridge, a clothing distribution program. Findings that emerged from the research demonstrated that the PAC meetings provided a setting where parents created and developed their social networks and became empowered. The parents who informed this study perceived their role in their children's education as one where parent advocacy was central to the partnerships between families, schools, and communities. With the assistance and collaboration from the MEP, parent volunteers developed The Bridge, first established to assist school families in meeting their children's basic needs; it later became a central location for local knowledge, social networks, and funds of knowledge. Through work accomplished at The Bridge, parents instilled in their children the value of hard work and learned to navigate the school system. They moved away from oppression, became empowered, and handled tensions. One of the most significant findings in this study was a shift by the parents from performing a standardized set of schooling practices set forth by the school, to developing a program that advanced as needs were assessed and identified. Parents in this study formally organized themselves in order to have a voice in the school (Delgado-Gaitan, 1991).
