Author: Sarah Marie Ngo Advisor: Curt Dudley-Marling, Ph.D. Federal legislation now requires that all children participate in large-scale, statewide assessments in English in an effort to increase accountability and bolster student achievement (Abedi, Hofstetter, & Lord, 2004; Hass, 2002). Students labeled as “English language learners” (ELLs) consistently score dramatically lower on English language and literacy assessments than their native speaking peers (Au & Raphael, 2000; National Center for Educational Statistics, 2011). Additionally, most mainstream teachers are not adequately prepared to meet the linguistic challenges that ELLs face in classroom settings (Lucas & Villegas, 2011).

  • Literacy for All in 100 Days? Public Disclosure Authorized a Research-Based Strategy for Fast Progress in Low-Income Countries
    Public Disclosure Authorized Literacy for All in 100 Days? Public Disclosure Authorized A research-based strategy for fast progress in low-income countries Helen Abadzi1 Global Partnership for Education Public Disclosure Authorized GPE Working Paper Series on Learning No. 7 May 30, 2013 This document is a perpetual draft, updated as new research becomes available. It exclusively represents the author’s personal views and does not imply endorsement of the World Bank or the Global Partnership for Education. Public Disclosure Authorized 1 Helen Abadzi is a Greek psychologist, who has worked since 1987 as an education specialist and senior evaluation officer in the World Bank and the Global Partnership for Education. She explores cognitive neuroscience applications that may improve the education of the poor. Her publications helped raise early-grade reading fluency to a high-level international priority. Email: [email protected], [email protected] 1 Executive Summary In low-income countries many students are marginalized very early and remain illiterate. In grades 1-3 they attend rarely, though they may officially drop out in grade 4. Many others graduate from primary school without having learned letter values. The worrisome outcomes, despite much donor investment in low-income countries, have prompted scrutiny of the methods, and textbooks used to make students literate. This document offers insights from cognitive neuroscience and evidence suggesting that students can be taught basic literacy within the first semester of grade 1, if taught in consistently spelled languages. Teaching students at risk of dropout to read as early as possible enhances equity. However, the reading methods used in many countries are complex and hard for teachers to execute.

  • Charrería: the Artisanship of Mexican Equestrian Culture
    Arte en la Charrería: The Artisanship of Mexican Equestrian Culture Educational Program by International Arts & Artists Table of Contents: I. What is Charrería? II. Events of the Charreada III. The origins of the Charreada IV. About the Exhibition V. Discussion Topics VI. Resource List VII. Glossary I. What is Charrería? Charrería is a Mexican cultural tradition that stems from the Spanish-inspired charreada. The charreada is a festive event that is similar to an American rodeo in its variety of competitive equestrian activities. Like the American “rodeo culture,” Charrería extends beyond horses and riders to include aspects such as costume, music, and food that bring a uniquely Latino culture to a sport that has its roots in Spain. The charreada began in Mexico in the 16th century when horses were introduced by the Spanish. As the Spanish tried to develop Central America for their own economic gain, they created an entire culture centered around agriculture and ranching in the haciendas they constructed. This is the culture that is reflected in Charrería. Although the main event is foreign-inspired, the culture reflected in the clothing, saddles, belts, hats, and spurs is largely inspired by traditional indigenous art. The Charrería has endured over five centuries because of the strength of the skills, sensibilities, and traditions that transcend regional and generational differences. Fearing the eventual loss of the Charrería culture, a group of charros, or the “cowboys,” who participate in the charreadas, united and formed various associations to preserve and promote this national culture.
