Something That Test Scores Do Not Show: Engaging in Community Diversity as a Local Response to Global Education Trends
Valdiviezo, Laura A.
Educational Forum, v78 n1 p68-77 2014
At Smith Street Elementary School, the globalizing education trends that English language learner (ELL) teachers face focus on measuring student achievement through testing and the English mainstreaming of non-dominant students as opposed to the cultivation of the students' linguistic and cultural diversity. The ELL teachers at Smith Street Elementary School decided to establish their research agenda by designing a project aimed at fostering ELL student success through reaching out to families to learn from them.
