Early Academic Achievement of Hispanics in the United States: Implications for Teacher Preparation
Hispanics account for over one-fifth of newborns in the United States, and Hispanic children, on average, achieve at much lower levels from kindergarten forward than the non-Hispanic white majority and Asian Americans. One of the most important educational challenges for the U.S. is to increase markedly the percentage of Hispanic children who enter kindergarten “ready” for school. Given that the early childhood years provide possibly the best win…

Reforming Education and Its Cultures
School reform initiatives have been with us for over a decade. Reform has taken place within a social and intellectual context that has addressed education's contribution to society and the culture within which it resides and new discoveries regarding teaching and learning that change the nature of education. One goal of reform has been to take on different roles and responsibilities regarding global economic realities and new values of equity an…

Interactive journals in bilingual classrooms: An analysis of language “transition”
Interactive student‐teacher journal entries of first‐, third‐, and fifth‐grade Spanish‐English bilingual classrooms were examined for an 8‐month period. The focus of the analysis was the “transition” of student writing from the native language to the second language in these entries. The results of the study indicate that students did not make a “transition” from the native language to the second language. Students adopted a communicative mode be…

Bilingualism has been defined predominantly in linguistic dimensions despite the fact that bilingualism is correlated with a number of nonlinguistic social parameters. The linguistic handle has served policymakers well in focusin…

Spanish‐English bilingual mother‐child pairs (children's age, 2.5–3.5 years) were observed in a “natural” situation over a 9‐month period.
