International Migrants Or Welfare Clients: The Selection Of A Master Status For Indochinese Refugees By American Voluntary Agencies, Jeremy Hein

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Government funding of nonprofit organizations is a dominant trend in American social welfare and it has greatly influenced the voluntary agencies resettling Indochinese refugees. Some agencies identify their clients as international migrants from the Third World, but others view them primarily as welfare recipients. These distinctive master statuses lead agencies to provide different services, thus affecting the refugees' initial adaptation to American society. Religiosity, period of creation, links to the welfare state, and international activities shape the selection of a master status for Indochinese refugees.

The Welfare Reservation: A Worst Case Scenario For A Federal Role In Homeless Assistance, Joseph M. Conforti

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The purpose of the little-known Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987 is stated as "... States, units of local government, and private voluntary organizations have been unable to meet the basic human needs of all the homeless and, in the absence of greater Federal Assistance, will be unable to protect the lives and safety of all the homeless in need of assistance: and the Federal Government has a clear responsibility and an existing capacity to fulfill a more effective and responsible role to meet the basic human needs and to engender respect for the human dignity of the …

Chapter One Reading Programs: Do Student/Family Factors Make A Difference?, Linda Thistlethwaite, Myron Mason

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Supplementary programs in basic skills, currently the Educational Consolidation Improvement Act - Chapter 1 - have been offered for over 25 years. Chapter 1 programs are typically in reading and math with the majority focusing on reading. School qualification for receiving federal Chapter 1 funds is based on whether or not the school serves low-income families; however, student eligibility to participate in a given school's program is based upon student level of achievement.

African-American Stories And Literary Responses: Does A Child's Ethnicity Affect The Focus Of A Response?, Jennifer L. Altieri

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The importance of using multicultural books with children has become of increasing concern to the educational community. "Within the past year multiculturalism has been the focus of articles in many important shapers and reflectors of public opinion including Time, Newsweek, US News and World Report, The Atlantic Monthly and The New Republic" (Taxel, 1992). A criticism frequently found in such writing is the lack of multicultural books published. During a three-year period in the 1960s only four-fifths of one percent of the books published dealt with contemporary black Americans (Larrick, 1965). Even though the situation has slightly improved for all …

When Thematic Units Are Not Thematic Units, Arne E. Sippola

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Thematic units are omnipresent in today's elementary classrooms. We theme in our units on bears. We theme in our units on monsters. We even theme when we present a unit of study featuring the children's novels of Beverly Cleary. Or do we? The practice of having children systematically studying a topic, a recurring literary phenomenon, or an author's collective works is worthwhile and laudable. It helps children organize their world by providing experiences that are connected by some central focus. However, I contend that educators are using the term thematic unit too broadly. A majority of thematic units developed and …
