Center for Applied Linguistics, Arlington, VA.
The memorandum opinion and order submitted to the United States District Court judge in the Ann Arbor, Michigan case of Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School Children vs. the Ann Arbor School District Board concerning the educational rights of students speaking black English outlines the history of the litigation, describes the parties to the litigation, defines the issues, reports on the current state of knowledge concerning black English and its impact on the teaching of standard English, and analyses the application of the current state of knowledge to the children and school in the case, and the application of the law to the facts. The educational plan summarizes the school board's plan for identifying and teaching standard English to speakers of black English, as submitted to the court in response to the judge's 1979 order, and outlines background information, current related programs and planning activities, and the plan's rationale and assumptions based on the plaintiff's testimony. The judge's intent and assumptions as derived from his opinion are summarized, the plan's goals are listed, and a description of the proposed program, and specific implementation and evaluation information, are provided.
