All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Teaching self-determination skills has been shown to be successful among those who are from Anglo-Saxon decent. However, not much has been done to study the effects of teaching culturally responsive self-determination skills to those who are from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The literature review in this transition portfolio addresses how teaching culturally and linguistically responsive self-determination skills can be useful to help individuals who receive special education services to more fully succeed in a post-high school setting.

Supplementary Resources To Promote Biliteracy For Emergent Bilingual Students, Elizabeth M. E. Nelson
School of Education and Leadership Student Capstone Projects
In the United States public schools, there is a significant and growing number of students that are Spanish-English emergent bilinguals. Dual language programs with the common goals of bilingualism and biliteracy have proved to provide these emergent bilinguals with the highest levels of long-term academic achievement. This capstone explores research aimed at answering the question relevant to these dual language programs: What are the critical elements that need to be included in developing and implementing effective biliteracy strategies for early elementary Spanish-English emergent bilingual students? Using a holistic biliteracy framework, specific qualities, approaches, and strategies were defined that support biliteracy …

Analyses were conducted to examine differences in narrative microstructure at two time points. In the present study, a Wilcoxon Signed Rank Sum test which is a nonparametric statistical measure was used to determine whether there was …

Additionally the researcher wanted to discover what students and teachers in a bilingual program thought of their own participation in regards to language. Through the use of surveys, interviews, and observations over the course of several weeks, the researcher was able to determine that many factors including student motivation, preferences, resources available, and misunderstanding all contribute to their willingness to participate …

Effects Of Multicultural Education On English Language Learners, Donna Dias
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
It is no surprise to step into a classroom with little to no multicultural education being implemented in the curricula, but when there are English language learners (ELLs) in these classes, the stakes run high. In a predominantly Eurocentric society, the U.S. population has become more diverse. It is important for diverse ELL students to feel heard and understood in their classrooms. This senior capstone will examine and discuss the effects of the different types of multicultural education on English Language Learning students through the use of literature review, interview with teachers and principals, and student surveys. The findings indicate …

System Challenges For Bilingual Clinical Social Work In Forensic Settings, Roberto G. Arroyo
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Little information exists about challenges that bilingual clinical social workers face when engaging individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) in forensic settings, which may influence the efficacy of services provided. Bilingual clinical social workers in the U.S. state of South Carolina lack operational guidelines to assist people with LEP who are involved in forensic matters. The purpose of this study was to explore challenges that affect delivery of bilingual clinical social work to people with LEP in forensic settings. Ecological systems theory served as the conceptual framework for this study. Purposive and snowball sampling methods led to the participation of …
