The document discusses migrant farmworkers and students in North Carolina. It notes that 94% of migrant farmworkers in the state are native Spanish speakers, and nationally most are male with families in their home countries. Over half of all US farmworkers are undocumented. Migrant children move across districts and states seasonally with their families who work in agriculture. Migrant families face challenges like hazardous working conditions, separation, low education levels, and language barriers. Barriers for migrant students include a lack of qualified teachers, limited course options, and lack of information about higher education. Strategies to help migrant students succeed include welcoming environments, encouraging academics, collaboration, and future education participation.

This document examines the issue of wealth and poverty in Latin America. It defines absolute and relative poverty, and notes that poverty creates a lack of basic resources, healthcare, education, and opportunities. A UN report found that in Latin America, the richest 20% earn on average 20 times more than the poorest 20%. A case study focuses on children in Quito, Ecuador who are forced to work instead of attending school, putting them at risk of abuse, health problems, and addiction. The conclusion states that the gap between rich and poor continues to widen in Latin America, with many facing difficult circumstances, so economic growth in countries like Brazil does not help the rest.
Poverty
Poverty is defined as the lack of basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing. It affects people's health, education, and hunger levels. To address poverty, efforts are being made to increase access to basic needs, remove barriers to services, control overpopulation, and increase income opportunities. Organizations working on poverty issues include the United Nations, Millennium Development Goals, and groups focused on ending child poverty and monitoring poverty levels.
Poverty in Latin America
Campus California partners with organizations to deploy volunteers to developing countries in order to establish sustainable resources that improve economic and environmental conditions. While poverty levels have dropped significantly in Latin America in recent years, 80 million people still live below the extreme poverty line of $2.50 per day. This level of poverty limits access to sanitation, healthcare, and education.
Educational Opportunities for All through Brownville Scholars Program
The Brownsville Scholars Program was established to provide educational opportunities for economically disadvantaged students in Brownsville, Texas, which was named the most underprivileged city in America in 2013. The program provides up to $4500 in annual scholarships for four years, as well as $4000 stipends for enrichment activities and $1000 stipends for internships, to 10 students from low-income families in Cameron County who are committed to personal growth and education. The scholarships also cover the cost of orientation programs and opportunities to participate in social and educational events at Texas A&M University.
EEOA Presentation
This document discusses the legal history and implications of educating English language learners in the United States. It summarizes key court cases like Lau vs. Nichols and Castaneda vs. Pickard that established schools must take affirmative steps to overcome language barriers. It also reviews the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974 which prohibits discrimination in education based on race, color, national origin, sex, or disability. The document recommends schools ensure their policies do not discriminate against non-native English speakers and that they implement adequate language learning programs and accommodations as required by law to provide equal educational opportunities.
Opportunity Neighborhoods: Mount Vernon
The document outlines plans to create Opportunity Neighborhoods in Fairfax County, Virginia to help children from disadvantaged communities succeed. It notes disparities exist where some neighborhoods have annual incomes less than half the county median. The plan is a cradle-to-career approach using partnerships between schools, social services, and community groups to improve outcomes for children in targeted areas like Mount Vernon through support from early childhood to college. The goal is for all children in these neighborhoods to have opportunities to grow healthy and get an excellent education.

Migrant workers
Migrant workers move between different areas and jobs, often doing temporary work rounding cattle in Texas before harvesting crops in New Mexico and Arizona. They fill critical needs for ranches and farms across the Southwest. Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta fought for the rights of migrant workers and minority laborers, helping to improve their working conditions over time.
Migrant Workers In The 1930’S
The document discusses the migrant worker population in California in the 1930s-1940s. It notes that the Great Depression and Dust Bowl caused many to migrate to California for work, especially from the Midwest. However, many faced discrimination, low wages, and poor living conditions when they arrived. The Farm Security Administration helped address this by creating migrant camps that were cleaner and more sanitary. Over time, as the economy improved and many left for World War II, some migrant workers were able to set down roots in California.
Migrant workers system
The document discusses the history and current state of migrant farm workers in the United States. It begins with the Bracero Program from 1942-1964 that allowed over 4 million Mexican guest workers due to agricultural labor shortages. Today, almost three-fourths of US farm workers are immigrants that the food system depends on. The system that employs migrant workers is maintained through coercion, violence, and deceit. Various stakeholders, including politicians, the public, corporations, and farmers, view the issue differently and perpetuate the system.
Salinas Valley, California
The Salinas Valley is located between the Gabilan and Santa Lucia mountain ranges in California. It relies on the Salinas River as a primary water source for agriculture. The valley has a mild climate and is known as "The Salad Bowl of the World" for its many farms and vineyards. The town of Soledad is set in good grape and wine country and was the setting for John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck was born in the Salinas Valley and drew inspiration from the towns and people there for many of his books.
Of mice and men powerpoint
John Ernst Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California in 1902. He attended Stanford University but left to pursue a writing career in New York. Although his early novels received little attention, "Tortilla Flat" was a success and marked a turning point in his career. Steinbeck went on to write famous works like "Of Mice and Men", "The Grapes of Wrath", and "East of Eden", winning the Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize for Literature. He remained fascinated by King Arthur tales and felt work and women were most necessary to life.

The document discusses the Great Depression and migrant farm workers in the 1930s. It summarizes how drought and economic problems led many to leave the Midwest for work in California agriculture. However, migrant farm workers faced low pay, poor conditions, and lack of job security or unions. John Steinbeck captured their struggles in his novel Of Mice and Men, published in 1938, which remains widely read today despite some criticism.
Racial Segregation
Racial segregation was common in the 19th century United States, separating whites and blacks in public spaces like schools, restaurants, and transportation. The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision ruled racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Prominent civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks protested segregation through nonviolent activism, helping to achieve greater legal equality and integration, though racial biases still persisted in society.

Cooperative learning
Cooperative learning involves students working together in small groups to help each other learn. It is not focused on individual work or competition between students. For cooperative learning to be effective, groups need members who view their roles as contributing to the whole team, interact with each other, are accountable both individually and as a group, and have interpersonal and leadership skills. Cooperative learning provides learning benefits and can be used across content areas, though groups must remain small to stay balanced.
Educ 202 presentation Shelby Thomas
The document discusses Latino education in the United States. It notes that while Latino high school dropout rates and college enrollment have increased dramatically in recent decades, Latinos still lag behind other groups in obtaining 4-year degrees. Only 15% of Latinos ages 25-29 have a bachelor's degree compared to 40% of whites and 20% of blacks. Reasons for this gap include that Latinos are less likely to attend 4-year colleges and more likely to attend 2-year community colleges. The document also discusses Latino participation and access to early education, STEM fields, and available grants and scholarships.
Duke Latin@ Scholarship
This document argues that Duke University should grow its Latino/a scholarship program to attract talented Latino students and promote diversity. It notes that the Latino population and purchasing power are growing rapidly in the US. While Latino admission rates still lag at top universities like Duke, such a scholarship could help Duke compete for top Latino talent and expose all students to diverse perspectives. The existing scholarship has already raised over $100,000 and provides benefits like community-building, mentorship opportunities, and promoting success from the Hispanic community.
Grant proposal
Redlands Christian Migrant Association (RCMA) is a nonprofit that provides childcare and education to over 7,000 migrant and low-income children across Florida.

One of the charter schools, Wimauma Academy, serves 190 migrant children and aims to expand to 8th grade and enroll 400 students through a $2.5 million capital campaign. RCMA is requesting $910,000 from Jane's Trust over 3 years to support the expansion.
Immigrants In Community Colleges. Immigrants In Community Colleges. Immigrant...
This document discusses how community colleges can better serve immigrant students. It notes that immigrant youth and children of immigrants make up a large portion of the US population. Community colleges are well-suited to meet the needs of immigrant students because they are affordable and accommodate those who work or have family responsibilities. However, immigrant students face challenges such as lack of academic preparation, limited English proficiency, and lack of information about financial aid. The document examines how community colleges can expand outreach, provide English language instruction, and raise funds to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for immigrant students.
Education through the eyes of poverty
This document discusses education challenges faced by children in poverty globally. It provides examples of issues in China, the Middle East, Brazil, and efforts by organizations like Teach For China and World Vision to help. In China, millions of migrant children lack access to schools due to registration policies. In the Middle East, over 12 million children are out of school due to factors like conflict, fees and child labor. Brazil struggles with poverty despite its strong economy, affecting indigenous and rural children's education access. Teach For China and World Vision work to expand opportunities for children in need.
Immigration
The document discusses the history and present state of US immigration laws. It outlines how laws have changed over time, with the US gradually restricting immigration through various acts. Currently, the annual immigration ceiling is set at 675,000, with exceptions for family members. The President is working to reform laws by strengthening border security and cracking down on employers hiring undocumented immigrants. There are an estimated 1.8 million undocumented students in US schools, who are entitled to free K-12 education but face barriers attending college.

The document also analyzes education policies in the four countries, including conditional cash transfer programs, laws addressing indigenous language barriers, and projects to expand access to secondary education. The overall goal is to compare how effectively different policies have addressed social inequalities hindering children's education.
Immigration 1
Immigration laws in the US have changed over time, becoming more restrictive. Currently, the annual immigration limit is set at 675,000, though some family exceptions exist. President Obama is working to reform laws by strengthening border security and cracking down on employers of undocumented immigrants. There are about 1.8 million undocumented students in US schools, who are entitled to free K-12 education, but face barriers to affordable higher education. Immigration impacts classrooms both positively, through increased diversity, and negatively, with language and economic challenges for some students.

Education for All
Education for all : Education is a fundamental right that should be available to everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, gender, or any other factor. All people should have access to quality education, including access to books, technology, and experts who can help them learn. To ensure Education for All, governments should invest in public schools and libraries, provide free tuition for college and technical school, and support programs that increase access to educational resources. Additionally, organizations and individuals should work together to create learning opportunities that are accessible to everyone. By creating a culture of learning and knowledge sharing, we can make sure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential.

Hispanic Immigrants’ Academic Achievement By Nationality
This document discusses a study analyzing the academic achievements of Hispanic immigrant students from different countries of origin. The study uses data from over 5,000 immigrant students to examine the relationship between students' GPAs and factors like ethnicity, family economic status, parents' education levels, English proficiency, and time spent on homework. The results suggest that a student's country of origin does not significantly impact academic performance on its own. Rather, the key drivers of success are higher family economic status and more time spent on homework each day. The document argues for a more customized approach to academic programs that considers differences in cultures and backgrounds between immigrant groups from different Latin American countries.

Seven50 May 17 Workshop
The document discusses a regional planning workshop focused on conducting a fair housing and equity assessment for Southeast Florida. It provides background on why such an assessment is important for understanding barriers to opportunity and creating more equitable communities. Data on housing, transportation, income, poverty, and education are presented for the region showing inequities around race, income, and geography. The workshop aims to integrate these findings into the regional planning process to develop strategies that increase access to opportunities like jobs, schools, transportation and build more inclusive communities.
Winning the Future by Improving Latino Education
At more than 54 million strong, Hispanics constitute the country's largest and fastest-growing minority group. They have had a profound impact on the US through their strong commitment to family, faith, hard work and service. However, Latinos face significant obstacles to educational attainment, with only about half earning their high school diploma on time and just 13% attaining a bachelor's degree. President Obama aims to improve education for Latinos and help the US win the future through initiatives focused on early learning, high standards, effective teachers and school leaders, and strengthening higher education.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
