From Attendance to Collaboration: Contextual Differences in Teacher Perceptions of Multilingual Family Engagement
Background/Context: There is a growing need for schools to examine the best ways of working with immigrant and multilingual families, as it is ever more likely that all teachers will work with multilingual newcomers and their children during their career. However, teachers often view multilingual families in deficit ways, and many teachers lack experience in designing culturally responsive school–family partnerships. Although professional develop…
Everybody kind of looked at me like I was from Mars: ’ Preparing Educators Through Qualitative Service-Research Projects
Skills developed through qualitative research and community partnerships can be essential for developing education students’ cultural competency and understandings about diverse student populations. Toward this end, we developed a qualitative ‘service-research’ project in a teacher education course focused on child development, whereby undergraduate students examined the racial, linguistic, religious, and migration experiences of youth in St. Lou…
From Relating to (Re)Presenting: Challenges and Lessons Learned From an Ethnographic Study With Young Children
This article advances the conversation on conducting ethical research with children by examining the process and products of a longitudinal ethnographic study about the implementation of a new bilingual policy in one midwestern school district. Framed by "procedural ethics" and "ethics in practice," and drawing from earlier considerations of power and representation, this re-analysis considers the following: What activities were designed to elici…
From global jobs to safe spaces: The diverse discourses that sell multilingual schooling in the USA
While much research has demonstrated that English-only rhetoric negatively affects bilingual education for the children of US immigrants, few studies have examined the local negotiations and discourses that shape the development of multilingual programming for English-speaking students. Across the USA, educational leaders and policy-makers today struggle to develop language programs and explain the benefits of multilingualism. To examine these ch…
The Life Course and Sense-Making: Immigrant Families’ Journeys Toward Understanding Educational Policies and Choosing Bilingual Programs
Implementing policies relies on their design, the will and capacity of implementors, the organizations within which implementation occurs, and individuals’ interpretations. Despite the fact that families’ decisions are critical to the successful implementation of educational programs, however, few studies examine their sense-making processes. Using life course theories, this ethnographic study examines how historical time and place and developmen…
It's One of Those Things That You Do to Help the Family”: Language Brokering and the Development of Immigrant Adolescents
This article examines how immigrant adolescent development is shaped by the cultural and linguistic practice of language brokering. Framed by theories on interdependent/independent developmental scripts, the changing experiences and views of 12 Latino/a children of U.S. immigrants over 5 years were analyzed. It was found that translating is a relational, interdependent activity in which adolescents both help and receive help from family members. …
I Helped My Mom,” and It Helped Me: Translating the Skills of Language Brokers into Improved Standardized Test Scores
This study illustrates the regularity with which the children of mostly Mexican immigrants in Chicago interpret languages and cultural practices for their families. It also tests the hypothesis, generated from qualitative research, that such “language brokering” is related to academic outcomes. Using data collected from a subset of children ($$n=87$$), longitudinal regression models, which controlled for early school performance, showed that high…
