The detailed 2020 Census data won't be released until later this summer (currently scheduled to happen by Sept. 30, 2021), but much of the data you need can be found in the ACS. The Census Bureau conducts work on over 130 censuses and surveys each year, and ACS is one of its most detailed and relied on data sources.
American Community Survey (ACS) (census.gov)

This guide is a really great introduction to the ACS.
American Community Survey Information Guide (census.gov)

The most recent detailed results are from the 2019 ACS, which can be found in the link below and is a really great introduction to the ACS.
Explore Census Data

This recorded webinar should provide a good tutorial on how to access this data.
Discovering Race & Ethnicity Data on data.census.gov

Explore Census Data is where the Bureau hosts most of its data for public access.

This Census Bureau program creates free materials for K-12 educators. Take a look around the site to get a sense of how data and statistics are used to create materials for the classroom.

*Topic: * Face Covering Facts/Cardinal and Ordinal numbers

Hello everyone – The topics for this week are about Face Covering Facts from the resources below, and Cardinal/Ordinal numbers. Please use the resources below available in different languages to talk about face covering facts. There are many ways you can use these resources to practice English. For example:

1.      You can dictate the sentences (or words for low levels) from the resources below and the learners can either type the dictation in the chat box of zoom, or they can write it down on a piece of paper.

2.      You can ask learners to read the sentences in English, and then compare the words and meanings in their own languages.

3.      You can do a document search activity where you say a word in the document and learners have to skim through the document to find that word. You can pick 10-20 words that you think would be challenging for your learners.

The second topic is on the difference between cardinal and ordinal numbers. Numbers is a tricky topic in many languages. There is so much to work with in this topic. For example, you can work on the pronunciation of 15 and 50, 16 and 60 and so on… certain numbers are hard to pronounce for certain languages. For example, generally for Spanish speakers it is hard to pronounce (5) like 55 or 265 or 1555 (anything with five because it contains the bilabial “v” and some Spanish speakers generally have a hard time with “V”. For Russian speakers, any combination numbers that start and sometimes end with the voiceless dental non-sibilant fricative (TH) is challenging. For example, third, fourth and so on. It would be useful and fun to work on addresses in Oregon. For example, 1555 SW 3rd Ave, Portland, OR 97201. In this topic the internet is your friend and so please feel free to use any resources that you think would be useful for the learner. Thank you so much!

*Topic: * COVID19 (Testing)/Fall Holidays

Hello everyone – The topics for this week are about COVID19 Testing and Fall Holidays. We will continue our topic of COVID19. Specifically, we will be teaching about testing using the resources below in English and Spanish. We will be covering questions such as What if I think I’ve been exposed? What if I test positive? How much will a COVID-19 test cost? If you would like to share something outside of these resources, please reach out to me first to confirm the sources. If you need more resources, please reach out to me. Thank you so much for teaching and sharing invaluable information with the learners.

Spanish: https://govstatus.egov.com/or-oha-pruebas-de-covid-19

There is so much sad news and negativity this year that refocusing from that energy into something that brings some positive thoughts is a necessity. Learning about and celebrating different holidays is something that many like to do. Besides, it is important to learn about the different holidays that are celebrated in the US and in the world among certain groups. Rosh Hashanah is a great example of a holiday that we all need to learn about. This topic is open for different sources, so feel free to find better articles, but here is one that I found that you can use to teach English about: https://www.cnn.com/2013/06/11/world/rosh-hashanah-fast-facts/index.html.

Topic: What is COVID19? And what are the symptoms of COVID19?

Hi everyone – This week we will focus on a topic that affects all of us and especially our learners. There is a lot of misinformation on what COVID19 is, how it spreads, and how to prevent it. So, we are going to use OHA recommended materials and resources to teach English and bring awareness about the virus to our learners.

This first week, please go over only what is COVID19? and what are the symptoms of COVID19 using the resources provided below. Please remember not to ask the learners whether they had COVID19 or how to treat it because we are not professionals in this field. It is not our job. Our job is to teach English while using a topic that affects our learners and therefore the language practiced is relevant to the experiences of the learners. We will be inviting Health Community Interpreters (CHIs) to some sessions to do what is called “Transcreation”. Transcreation is adapting a message from one language to another, while maintaining its intent, style, tone, and context. In addition, we will be inviting some Community Health Workers to share their expertise about COVID19 to our learners, and their knowledge can be used to teach English.

Please send to learners the link below with their native language version of this resource. Please ask them to pass this information along to other family members and their network. Have them count how many people they have given this information to and in your next session ask them if they have shared it with anyone. If you have any questions please reach out to me on here. I’m going to send this message to all teachers individually as well. Thank you
