Challenging Deficit Discourses with Counterstories of Cultural Wealth
Background: In U.S. secondary schools, multilingual learners of English (MLs) endure persistent deficit narratives grounded in deficit discourses, which limit their opportunity to attain college and career readiness. As such, some researchers have considered career and technical education (CTE) as an alternative for MLs, despite little investigation. However, recent research has shown that MLs have limited access to CTE and experience deficit nar…
A raciolinguistic perspective on career readiness standards in career and technical education
I Would Purposely Try to Keep them Separated”
In the policy context of college and career readiness, career and technical education (CTE) is growing in popularity, especially for students who are underserved in academic high school programs. While CTE has shown promise for some students, very little research exists on its potential for emergent bilingual students (EBs). Thus, building on research of deficit perceptions of EBs and language ideologies (LIs), this study examines how LIs and def…
Diversity Ideology and School Leadership
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to examine the ways in which school leaders in career and technical education (CTE) conceptualized diversity and inclusion for emergent bilingual students (EBs) and how their beliefs about diversity manifested in institutional support (or lack thereof) for EBs. Research Method: This study draws on data collected during a year-and-a-half long qualitative case study at a large, nationally recognized CTE cente…
Supporting multilingual students from policy to practice
This paper focuses on the need to provide systems of support for multilingual students in career and technical education (CTE) programs. The paucity of research on multilingual students’ access to, participation in, and outcomes from CTE and lack of attention to issues of language in CTE teacher preparation has left CTE educators and administrators with little basis for imagining meaningful, research-based initiatives to support multilingual stud…
Teaching Hispanic Restaurant Workers
In this article, we make a case for incorporating translanguaging pedagogy into the framework of Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy (CSP). Drawing on data from a one-year ethnographic study of an adult ESL program, we show how teachers believed in and attempted to create spaces for translanguaging and CSP but in practice fell short. We conclude that translanguaging is most powerful when understood as a component of CSP but call for more research in t…
