The original intent in 1967 was to was to assist heritage language Spanish speaking people. When passed in 1968, however, it served to make federal money available to speakers of languages other than English (Baker & Wright, p. 198, 2018). This is important for bilingual education today because it allowed some schools to bring home language into the classrooms. Although it sparked debate about home language usage in the classroom, it set precedent for using federal money for language learning programs.]]> 2022-10-13 20:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bork1102/kk86wez6no6aq1mq/wish/2339419606 bork1102 https://padlet.com/bork1102/kk86wez6no6aq1mq/wish/2339437394 In 1975, the Lau Remedies were a set of guidelines for schools established after the Lau v. Nichols decision.  These guidelines acknowledged the need for help for students who were "not proficient" in English. It included things such as English as a Second Language classes, English tutoring, and a form of bilingual education. These guidelines also somewhat expanded the the use of minority languages in schools, if only temporarily, (Baker & Wright, p. 186, 2021). This is important to bilingual education today as it fostered a fair amount of  growth to programs and established and acknowledged that people learning English need help.]]> 2022-10-13 21:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bork1102/kk86wez6no6aq1mq/wish/2339437394 bork1102 https://padlet.com/bork1102/kk86wez6no6aq1mq/wish/2339440790 No Child Left Behind reauthorized ESEA and was in place for over ten years. Wile it reauthorized ESEA, it changed much of the language regarding English language learning to deficit focused, eliminated the Bilingual Education Act (replacing it with Title III), discouraged bilingual education, and mandated high stakes testing in content areas and English Proficiency (Baker & Wright, p. 199, 2021). This is important for bilingual education programs today as it encouraged deficit focused language, and influenced many teachers who are working in the field in today's schools.]]> 2022-10-13 21:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bork1102/kk86wez6no6aq1mq/wish/2339440790 bork1102 https://padlet.com/bork1102/kk86wez6no6aq1mq/wish/2339457651 This legislation sought to include ELL students in mainstream education and policies, taking the stance that students for whom English is a new language, can, and should achieve high academic standards. It made it difficult to ignore the needs of ELLs when making policies, (Baker & Wright, p. 198, 2021). This is important for bilingual education today in that it recognizes that students who are bilingual are able to learn and achieve in the same context as students for whom English is the heritage language. ]]> 2022-10-13 21:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bork1102/kk86wez6no6aq1mq/wish/2339457651 bork1102 https://padlet.com/bork1102/kk86wez6no6aq1mq/wish/2339459982 The Seal of Biliteracy was first given in California in 2011. It has since been adopted by most states and serves to recognize students for their achievement in becoming proficient in two or more languages. This is important for bilingual education today because it is an official recognition of the skill and dedication required in bilingualism. It also serves to move away from the restrictive view of bilingual education (Baker & Wright, p. 194, 2021).]]> 2022-10-13 21:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bork1102/kk86wez6no6aq1mq/wish/2339459982
