An Invitation To Imagine Education Otherwise, Grasilel Esperanza Diaz
An Invitation To Imagine Education Otherwise, Grasilel Esperanza Diaz
Occasional Paper Series
This article presents an invitation to imagine education otherwise, what education could be if we took a restorative justice approach and make immediate changes. It focuses on the changes needed to make this vision a reality. Covid-19 has exposed many of the inequalities that exist in education and how these inequalities have negative effects on the neediest students. You are invited to imagine schools as sites of justice and freedom, to think of teaching that is centered on children, caring, and building relationships with families.
Supporting Young Children Of Immigrants In Prek-3
Supporting Young Children Of Immigrants In Prek-3
Occasional Paper Series
This special issue of the Occasional Paper Series describes practices and policies that can positively impact the early schooling of children of immigrants in the United States. We consider the intersectionality of young children’s lives and what needs to change in order to ensure that race, class, immigration status, gender, and dis/ability can effectively contribute to children’s experiences at school and in other instructional contexts, rather than prevent them from getting the learning experiences they need and deserve.

Introduction: Welcoming The Stranger, Jonathan Silin
Occasional Paper Series
Jonathan G. Silin introduces the 17th issue of Occasional Papers with the concept of "strangers" - people of all ages who perceive themselves or have been perceived by others as outsiders.

This philosophy sets the tone for the following essays that illustrate the importance of creating a healthy learning environment for immigrants.

Confounded And Compounded By Language: English Language Learners And High Stakes Testing, Elizabeth Park
Confounded And Compounded By Language: English Language Learners And High Stakes Testing, Elizabeth Park
Occasional Paper Series
As her students prepare to take their tests to exhibit English proficiency, the atmosphere, writes Park, "becomes military at best, prison-like at worst. Regulations are distributed. Teachers are warned that state examiners may appear unannounced to look for infractions of the myriad rules..." Scare tactics are used to try to assure that the testing activity remains uncontaminated by human desire, fear, or simple boredom.
