We describe how each telling of his narratives is situated in time and space, where Thomas reveals his understandings of current social, political and hegemonic forces. Further, we demonstrate how Thomas is taking an agentive stance countering U.S. national anti-immigrant narratives that position Latino immigrants unfavorably. We suggest that narratives and digital technology offer Latino youth a vehicle to become theorists of, and change agents of their own and of others’ worldviews. summary: None keywords: community; digital; freedom; immigrant; narratives; new; road; story; thomas; youth cache: amae-111AMAE, Inc. plain text: amae-111.txt item: #14 of 324 id: amae-112 author: None title: amae-112 date: None words: 6471 flesch: 52 summary: Participant stories underscored the impact that this type of educational discontinuation has had on later life options, a fi nding corroborated by correlational studies of dropout with later negative life outcomes (Laird, DeBell, & Chapman, 2006), Given the links of many barriers to external or internalized oppression, it remains important for educators and mental health professionals who wish to promote educational achievement, resilience, and mental health in the face of such barriers to continue to advocate for social justice, or “Full and equal participation of all groups in a society that is mutually shaped to meet their needs” (Bell, 1997, p. 3) (e.g., see Life Circumstances barriers in Table 1).

What the research on this relationship has yielded is the “School- to-Prison Pipeline” (SPP), a theory that suggests punitive school policies, such as detentions, suspensions and truancy policies, among others, disproportionately punish minoritized students31 pushing them out of schools and consequently sharply increasing the likelihood they will end up incarcerated32 (e.g., Advancement Project, 2005, 2010; Croger & Hewitt, 2011; keywords: american; criminalization; education; experiences; families; issue; justice; latin@s; metaphor; pipeline; policies; prison; prison pipeline; research; school; spp; students; youth cache: amae-140.pdf plain text: amae-140.txt item: #46 of 324 id: amae-141 author: None title: amae-141 date: None words: 6119 flesch: 59 summary: These interactions and policies must be examined and dismantled in order to construct undocumented students not as criminals, but as citizens with signifi cant aspirations that contribute to society and limit their entrance into the Pipeline.

Additionally, general education teachers are also now being asked to have increased responsibility for special education students via full inclusion models for students with mild/moderate disabilities (Artiles, Klingner, Sullivan, & Fierros, 2010; Blanchett, Klingner, & Harry, 2009; Esparza & Doolittle, 2008;). keywords: alas; bilingual; california; disabilities; education; english; language; learning; program; school; students; teachers cache: amae-154.pdf plain text: amae-154.txt item: #61 of 324 id: amae-155 author: None title: amae-155 date: None words: 7265 flesch: 46 summary: Highlighting scholarships for undocumented youth served a dual purpose: first, it communicated important college pathway knowledge of actual resources to students who are routinely excluded from consideration of scholarships, and second, it signaled not only her awareness that undocumented students may be in her classroom (and her stance as someone communicating resources available to them) but it also served as a signal to others that their status was not the only one that existed.

Using testimonio pedagogy to theorize the significance of my students becoming pensadores teaching Chicana lesbian fiction in a Chicana Feminisms course demonstrates queer modes of disruption with Chicana/Latina feminist pedagogies is the insistence that the everyday experiences of survival, resistance, compliance, and dis/identification must count as knowledge. keywords: amae; american; chicana; educators; feminist; issue; journal; lesbian; mexican; pedagogy; pensadores; power; press; pérez; students; testimonio; university; volume; women cache: amae-365.pdf plain text: amae-365.txt item: #196 of 324 id: amae-368 author: Alarcón, Wanda title: Reading and Remembering Butch-Femme Worlds date: 2020.0 words: 9915 flesch: 63 summary: We can see in this pointed statement the “race trouble” E.

The Typology of HSI Organizational Identities is a guiding framework that suggests there are multiple ways for an institution to serve Latinx students, and thus multiple “types” of Hispanic- keywords: american; education; garcia; graduation; hispanic; hsis; identity; institutions; journal; latinx; latinx students; programs; rates; year cache: amae-77.pdf plain text: amae-77.txt item: #303 of 324 id: amae-78 author: Gonzalez, Kenneth P.; Meling, Vanessa S. title: Modeling an Effective Program for Latina/o College Student Success date: 2017.0 words: 5499 flesch: 53 summary: It is difficult, if not impossible, to determine that a redesigned program was the primary factor in increasing student success in the case study offered here.
