Educational Leaders Serving Language Minority Students (1965-2001)
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>This study analyzes three legislations that affected education for language</p><p>minority students. The research starts with a historical overview of the foundation of the</p><p>United States and the education of the non-English speaking population. It examines the</p><p>conditions that led to the first Bilingual Education Act of 1968, the changes that appeared</p><p>in the Bilingual Education Act of 1974, and the development of Title III of the No Child</p><p>Left Behind Act of 2001. The country's response to English language learners and their</p><p>individual learning needs is looked at throughout each listed time period, as well as the</p><p>implications for educational leaders.</p><p>Each legislation study answers three questions:</p><p>1. What are the economic, political, social, and educational conditions of each</p><p>time period that influenced the legislation?</p><p>2. Who are the leaders that advocated for English language learners?</p><p>3. What are their arguments and as a result, what programs were developed?</p><p>The primary sources used include public laws, U.S. Senate and House of</p><p>Representatives hearings, congressional documents, newspaper articles, presidents'</p><p>speeches, government reports, and journals. These sources help to understand and</p><p>describe the trends of each time period and the implications for educational leaders and</p><p>language minority students.</p>
