Hispanic Heritage by Tonya Garcia,Michael Gordon Pdf
There are many reasons that attention should be devoted to Hispanic culture and its influence on American society. The most obvious is that Hispanics are the largest ethnic minority in the U.S. The importance of this population was recognized in 1988 by the establishment of National Hispanic American Heritage Month. For this reason, it is essential to learn what it means to be Hispanic in the U.S. This modern-day reference is ideal for educators and students as well as stakeholders who want to learn more about the rich and invaluable influence Hispanics have on America's society. An educational preparation will likely begin by seeking answers to the following questions. What should I know about the Hispanic population in the U.S. - e.g., demographics, schooling, and employment? What is the history of Hispanic habitation in the U.S. - e.g., how does immigration play a part? What were the challenges and accomplishments of Hispanics who earned renown for careers in commercial, scientific, and legal fields? What are good sources of information about such matters? You will find answers to these and similar questions in the following eight chapters and discussion guide. In these times troubled by divisiveness and anger, such cultural broadening is especially important. To this end, many educational programs have been initiated that are intended to create and sustain mutual understanding. This understanding fosters equity, empathy, and belonging. These chapters were prepared to develop a well-informed understanding and appropriate appreciation of Hispanics in America.

The goal of this fourth volume of RISE was to provide a research foundation that demonstrates an agenda to strengthen the preparation and enhancement of teachers of science for regions and states experiencing extensive initial growth of Hispanic ELLs in schools. The goal was carried out through a series of events that led to the planning and subsequent dissemination of research being conducted by various stakeholders throughout the United States. Researchers were first invited from regions of the country that have had a long history of with Hispanic ELLs in classrooms as well as those regions where initial and now extensive growth has occurred only in the past few years. A national conference Science Teacher Education for Hispanic English Language Learners in the Southeast (SHELLS) funded through the National Science Foundation was used as one of the dissemination methods to establish and secure commitments from researchers to a conduct and report research to strengthen teacher preparation for science. The national call for manuscripts requested the inclusion of major priorities and critical research areas, methodological concerns, and concerns and results of implementation of teacher preparation and development programs.
