The Role of Access: Interpreting for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Immigrant Students
Get PDFAs immigrant and refugee populations in American schools continue to increase, the education system has opted for changes to better accommodate these students. The impact schools are experiencing requires careful reflection and analysis. Considering the number of deaf individuals who are included within the immigration numbers, it seems incumbent upon American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters as professionals to also prepare themselves in order to provide accessible interpretations for students. This research will highlight the progression and change within the educational interpreter’s landscape and attempt to provide temporary strategies that ASL interpreters can utilize while the student is in the process of learning ASL and English. This work will be viewed through the lens of trauma informed care while specifically addressing trauma derived from both the migration process and language deprivation
The Reading Habits of High School Former English Language Learners
Get PDFIn this action research project, I set out to investigate the reading habits of Hispanic and current- or former English Language Learners in high school. Research questions included: Do Hispanic and ELL students read for pleasure, and if so, how much? What are they reading? Are they reading in English or Spanish, or both? How important is it to these readers that they have characters and authors that look like them? What are their obstacles to reading? And what would encourage them to read more? To answer these questions, I conducted a survey in one northeast Salem school. Nine students participated, and two were interviewed. Results indicated that Hispanic and former ELL students read with the same range of frequency, amount, and complexity as their peers, following national trends. Seventy-five percent of former ELL students continue to read in their first languages. Surprisingly, students showed little to no interest in reading books by authors of color, while they preferred modern books with “relatable” characters. I speculate on these results and discuss implications for teaching
Components for a Successful Band Program
Get PDFRunning a successful band program demands strategies that increase enrollment and retention numbers. This research project takes 4 teachers’ experiences to extract insight and strategies on what can be implemented to have students join and remain in band classes. The data extracted was used to build my band program in the first year of being the middle school’s band director
