Gordon, Edmund W.; And Others (1972). Armijo Bilingual Bicultural Program (West Las Vegas, New Mexico). The Armijo Bilingual Bicultural Demonstration Center has just completed its second year of operation. The program, which offers bilingual and bicultural instruction in an open classroom for 154 first and second graders, is funded chiefly through Elementary Secondary Education Act Title III funds. Students are taught reading skills, mathematical principles, and scientific concepts in Spanish, the dominant language of the predominantly Mexican-American student body. English dominant children, taught in English, receive instruction in Spanish Language Arts. The use of the open classroom permits highly individualized or small group instruction in homogeneous or heterogeneous groupings. The program is exemplary for several reasons. Most important is its equal emphasis on instruction in both Spanish and English language and culture. The bilingual emphasis eradicates the stigma children from minority groups have traditionally experienced in American education. The program has also achieved the behavioral objectives set forth at its inception as well as those in the Spanish Curriculum Development Center materials and in the progress charts of the Palomares Human Development Series.   [More]  Descriptors: Biculturalism, Bilingual Education, Bilingual Students, Compensatory Education

Boykin, James C.; Hood, William R. (1913). Legislation and Judicial Decisions Relating to Education, October 1, 1909, to October 1, 1912. Bulletin, 1913, No. 55. Whole Number 566, United States Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior. This bulletin presents a summary of the laws relating to education enacted by the following legislative sessions: 1910: Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia; 1911: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming; 1912: Arizona, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia. It is intended to include all enactments excepting those of distinctly local character and excepting ordinary appropriations. The method of presentation is self-explanatory. Important laws are quoted with considerable fullness and some of them are reprinted verbatim. As a rule legal verbiage and details of temporary or local significance are omitted when they do not seem to be necessary to a clear understanding of an act. In many instances essential paragraphs are reproduced without change, while other paragraphs of the same act are presented only in substance. Such treatment is required by obvious limitations of space. The reader will not, therefore, suppose that he is handling the full text of any law, unless quotation marks are used. Digests of judicial decisions are indicated by asterisks. They cover the period between October 1, 1909, and July 1, 1912. Practically all the digests were taken from the publications of the West Publishing Co., and the courtesy of that company in permitting the use of copyrighted material is cordially acknowledged. A bibliography and an index are included. (Contains 9 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]   [More]  Descriptors: Educational Legislation, Laws, Court Litigation, Educational History

Pascual, Henry W., Ed. (1972). Reading Strategies for New Mexico in the 70's. The three papers in this resource guide are oriented to the needs of Spanish-surnamed and Indian children. The first paper points out three concerns to be examined before selecting reading materials: (1) the population for whom selection is planned, (2) criteria emphasizing children's needs, and (3) apparent trends in reading instructional materials appropriate for the population. Critical points for selection and evaluation of reading instructional materials for Indian and Spanish-speaking children are discussed. The second paper stresses teacher-student interaction, diagnostic teaching, and classroom management in the elementary school. The author feels that standardized tests, especially their norms, should not be used with minority groups, but that the informal reading inventory is best for these children. He also refers to four approaches used to teach non-English-speaking children and to four language measures. The third paper observes that schools are serving the interests of the dominant social forces, and that while unable to reform schools, teachers can humanize their classrooms by examining and revising certain beliefs which lend to anti-humanistic school practices. Recognition of individual differences and use of evaluation as formative in a diagnostic sense are strongly recommended. References are included.   [More]  Descriptors: American Indians, Diagnostic Teaching, Formative Evaluation, Individual Differences

Jensen, Joan M. (1978). Women Teachers, Class, and Ethnicity: New Mexico, 1900-1950, Southwest Economy and Society. In the early twentieth century, children were prohibited from speaking Spanish. Thus, female teachers, as enforcers of the rules, reproduced the social relations found in society and legitimized and perpetuated class and ethnic stratification. By doing so they separated themselves from Hispanic women.   [More]  Descriptors: Culture Conflict, Educational Discrimination, Educational Policy, Ethnicity

Benson, Chris, Ed. (1999). Changing Practice, Bread Loaf Rural Teacher Network Magazine. This serial issue contains nine articles all on the subject of "changing practice," i.e., innovative practices of rural English teachers in the Bread Loaf Rural Teacher Network. "Byte-ing into Medieval Literature" (John Fyler) describes an online conference on medieval literature for rural high school students. "Literacy in Cattle Country" (Dan Furlow) tells how a New Mexico high school teacher based English instruction on community needs and idiosyncrasies and implemented interactive journal writing to engage students. In "Crossing Cultures, Changing Practices" (Kate Flint), an Oxford (England) University professor describes how implementing techniques she learned through Bread Loaf has increased her students' confidence and expanded her cultural horizons professionally and personally. "Fieldwork: A Research Approach to Creating Classroom and School Change" (Allison Holsten) recounts how student research on school culture engaged students and gave them a new perspective on their own behavior. "Learning To Be at Home: A Course in Cultures of the American Southwest" (John Warnock) describes how a writing teacher has students locate themselves, through writing, in their home culture, then strive to be "at home" with cultures of the American Southwest. "The Romance of Teaching: An Interview with Vito Perrone" (Chris Benson) explores the idea that good teaching is based on personal experience, inquiry, and a locally relevant curriculum. "Practice and Change in the Teaching Life" (Stephan Schadler) discusses various teaching practices learned through participation in Bread Loaf, which ranks inquiry as paramount. "Staying Afloat: How Teaching Revises My Life" (Tilly Warnock) explains that we revise our worlds and ourselves through language, and that understanding writing as rewriting yields wonderful results. "Teaching outside the Comfort Zone" (Susan McCauley) describes the challenge of teaching in rural Alaska, where conventional educational practices are not relevant to the subsistence lifestyle of indigenous people.   [More]  Descriptors: Active Learning, Collegiality, Educational Practices, English Teachers
