Download or read book Hmong-related Works, 1996-2006 written by Mark Edward Pfeifer and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hmong are a mountain-dwelling subgroup of the Miao of southwest China. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they began migrating southeast to Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. In the second half of the twentieth century, mainly because of their participation in the Second Indochina War (1954-1975), the Hmong began migrating to the West. Today the Hmong are one of the fastest-growing ethnic populations in the United States, increasing from about 94,000 in the 1990 census to approximately 190,000 in the U.S. Census Bureau's 2005 American Community Survey. With this rapid expansion, there has been a substantially increased interest in Hmong-related written works; multimedia materials; and websites among students, scholars, service professionals, and the general public. To help meet this interest, Mark Edward Pfeifer has compiled Hmong-Related Works, 1996-2006. An Annotated Bibliography, which includes full reference information (including Internet links to articles) and descriptive summaries for more than 600 Hmong-related works. Book jacket.
Book Synopsis The Perspectives of Hmong Parents' Role in Their Children's Post-secondary Education by : Ka H. Lysongtseng
Download or read book The Perspectives of Hmong Parents' Role in Their Children's Post-secondary Education written by Ka H. Lysongtseng and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hmong people have been living in the United States for more than four decades, primarily in the states of California, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The Hmong came to the United States as refugees from Laos when that country was overtaken by the Communist Pathet Lao in 1975. The Hmong have made great strides in assimilating into their new culture and society; however, a number of research studies have shown that Hmong students are struggling in higher education institutions today. In 1976, when the first Hmong refugees began entering the U.S., more than 70 percent of them had no prior education, either in Laos or while living in the transition camps in Thailand. Even so, many have successfully attained college degrees and live prosperous lives. The purpose of this action research project is to understand Hmong parents' view of the roles they play in their children's success in college education in the U.S. The research was conducted among six maternal parents residing in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews. The results indicated that the participants' high regard for education, their active involvement in their children's school activities, their provision of financial support, and their practice of early reading to their children (some even in utero), were important components in their children's educational success.
Book Synopsis Language, Culture, and Community in Teacher Education by : Maria Estela Brisk
Download or read book Language, Culture, and Community in Teacher Education written by Maria Estela Brisk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by Routledge for the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education This volume addresses the pressing reality in teacher education that all teachers need to be prepared to work effectively with linguistically and culturally diverse student populations. Every classroom in the country is already, or will soon be, deeply affected by the changing demographics of America’s students. Marilyn Cochran-Smith’s Foreword and Donaldo Macedo’s Introductory Essay set the context with respect to teacher education and student demographics, followed by a series of chapters presented in three sections: knowledge, practice, and policy. The literature on language education has typically been discussed in relation to preparing ESL or bilingual teachers. Typically, needs of culturally and linguistically diverse students, including immigrants, refugees, language minority populations, African Americans, and deaf students, have been addressed separately. This volume emphasizes that these children have both common educational needs and needs that are culturally and linguistically specific. It is directed to the preparation of ALL teachers who work with culturally and linguistically diverse students. It not only focuses on how teachers need to change but how faculty and curriculum need to be transformed, and how to better train teacher education candidates to understand and work efficaciously with the communities in which culturally and linguistically diverse students tend to be predominant. The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) is a national, voluntary association of higher education institutions and related organizations. Our mission is to promote the learning of all PK-12 students through high-quality, evidence-based preparation and continuing education for all school personnel.

Download or read book Perceptions of Hmong Parents in a Hmong American Charter School written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parental involvement plays an essential role in the United States (U.S.) educational system. However, parental involvement poses many challenges for Hmong parents in American schools. Many assumptions are made on the parts of teachers, staff, and Hmong parents about parents' roles pertaining to their involvement in their children's education. Hmong parents struggle to reconcile beliefs, attitudes, and values that they bring with them from Laos with the expectations found in the U.S. due to their unfamiliarity with the U.S. educational system. This study employed the used a qualitative, descriptive case study approach to examine the perceptions of Hmong parents involvement at a K-6 Hmong American charter school in Northern California. The primary data collection method used in this study was interviews with four school-community stakeholder groups. The purposeful-selected interview participants included two administrators, four teachers, six parents, and four students. The interviews were dialogically coded and nine themes were developed related to parental involvement. These nine themes were: communication with parents, committee involvement, flexibility of staff, enrichment programs non-traditional school schedule, importance of field trips, cultural events and presence of other cultures, recommend school to others, and positive behavioral reinforcement. The study concludes with a presentation of the implications of the nine themes on the design of parent involvement models and recommendations are offered related to policies and connected strategies for how to design culturally relevant supports for parent involvement in education.

Download or read book Factors Contributing to Hmong University Students' Academic Success and Failure written by Danai Chowwiwat and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally and culturally, the Hmong valued formal education highly as an open door to economic stability and higher social status, but historically, they have never had the opportunity to truly live out their educational values. Today, the Hmong are living in the greatest country on earth, the United States of America, where they have found the opportunities to live out their dreams and hopes. Adjusting from preliterate culture to modernization and technological and industrial culture is a big challenge the Hmong are facing in their adopted country. As parents are adapting to new cultures in America, they felt they also needed to preserve their traditional cultures. They are living in two contrasted worlds. As result, parents are slowly assimilated into mainstream society, and children are growing up in between two worlds. Children are inheriting Hmong cultural values by reinforcement of traditional practices at home and learn about American values and cultures in school. In fact, schools have functioned as major agents of assimilation for Hmong children. Many Hmong adults having difficulty in assimilating to American mainstream culture because they are lacking English skills and have only minimal formal educational background. They have no hope to be successful educationally and economically. However, they appreciate the educational opportunities their children receive in America and want them to become educated, because education, especially higher education, is the only means to ensure their future economic security. In order to reach their dreams, Hmong parents and children have to pay a heavy price for their journey to educational and economic successes. I hope that by hearing their struggles and experiences will help us get an insight of the whole story.

Download or read book Involvement in the Educational System Among Hmong Parents written by Khou Xiong and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hmong immigrated to the United States about 30 years ago from their homeland Laos after the defeat of the Vietnam War in 1975. They have been faced with many struggles as the Hmong try to settle into a culture so different and demanding as compared to their homeland. It has been a difficult journey for many Hmong as they try to assimilate to the American culture while holding onto the customs and traditions they all believe in. The Hmong are still faced with many difficulties and barriers after all these years. However, they value education very much as they believe that education is the way to be successful in America. Although most Hmong value education and understand the importance of it, they have a difficult time being involved in the educational system and their child's education. This is due to many barriers that they are faced with: language barriers, their own lack of education, poverty, teacher perceptions, and cultural differences. The purpose of this critical analysis of research is to examine the different barriers that Hmong families and parents are faced with that impose as a hindrance on involvement in their child's education. It examines language barriers, education level, poverty, and cultural differences. Furthermore, it looks at teacher perceptions which also act as barriers for parent involvement. Finally, this critical analysis of research will give recommendations for future research after analyzing current research available. It will also give recommendations for educators as they work with Hmong parents and families to try to bridge the cultural gap that exists.
