The act was passed during an era of growing immigration and an energized Civil Rights movement.
The act provided federal funding to encourage local school districts to try approaches incorporating native-language instruction. This was the first time U.S. Congress had endorsed funding for Bilingual Education.
Most states followed the lead of the federal government, enacting Bilingual Education Laws of their own or at least decriminalizing the use of other language in the classroom (Cohen, 29-31).
In its first year, the act provided funding for 76 Bilingual Education programs and served students who spoke 14 different languages.]]> 2022-06-07 22:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/daniloluglii/yzr3kjcw2flett76/wish/2214131775 daniloluglii https://padlet.com/daniloluglii/yzr3kjcw2flett76/wish/2214132759 In 1982 Terrence Bell, Secretary of Education, saw the guidelines in the Bilingual Education Act as too inflexible.

The proposition places non-English speaking students in a short-term English immersion program. Students generally do not spend more than one year in the program, however, one year after the English-only program was implemented, and only 7% of students who had participated in the program were considered fluent in the English language.
The proposition requires that all public education must be conducted in English and severely restricts the use of their native language for the instruction of English learners.
The proposition was marketed as the "English for the Children" movement.
The 2004 test results for CA public schools showed that the achievement gap was widening for English learners in CA.
In 2004, the test scores of English learners were declining in a majority of the grade levels.
Proposition 227 does not provide solutions to the challenges of cultural integration of language minorities.]]> 2022-06-07 22:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/daniloluglii/yzr3kjcw2flett76/wish/2214133786 daniloluglii https://padlet.com/daniloluglii/yzr3kjcw2flett76/wish/2214136301 In 2001 the No Child Left Behind Act was passes in order to mandate that each state must measure every public school student's progress in reading and math from the third grade through the eighth grade. Further progress must be measured at least once between the tenth and twelfth grades.
By the 2007-2008 school year, assessments (or testing) in science will be underway.
The act requires that all teachers teaching in Bilingual Education programs be fluent in English and any other language used in the classroom.
The act gives parents the choice to enroll their children in a Bilingual Education program, but puts a three year "time-limit" on Bilingual programs. After a student has been in school for three consecutive years, English-only instruction must commence, regardless of the student's English speaking ability.]]> 2022-06-07 22:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/daniloluglii/yzr3kjcw2flett76/wish/2214136301
