Newest Report Focuses on Family Literacy Family Literacy Nights: Building the Circle of Supporters Within and Beyond School for Middle School English Language Learners by, Ji Mei Chang (2004) The word is out! Home-school collaboration improves educational opportunity. In response, schools are increasingly developing programs that bring together parents of linguistically and culturally diverse students, teachers, and the students themselves. This report offers practitioners strategies for doing so. Based on a 3-year CREDE project conducting literacy nights for the families of low performing Asian American English language learners, the report presents obstacles encountered in forming home-school partnerships, theoretical frameworks and principles that guided implementation of the partnerships, and a discussion of findings for practitioners. The report also includes strategies for parents and researchers. Purchase the report through the CAL store Another Valuable Resource on Education for Newcomer Students!

Long-Term Help Needed for Hurricane Katrina Evacuees NABE extends its deepest sympathies to all those affected by Hurricane Katrina. We encourage our members and affilliates to contribute what they can to aid the victims. Many are already giving generously for immediate relief efforts, especially to the American Red Cross. But other charities dealing with long-term needs for housing, employment, and education are especially in need of support. These include UNICEF Habitat for Humanity Oxfam Foundations for Recovery.Org , the LULAC Katrina Relief Fund , and the National Alliance of Vietnamese American Service Agencies. Volunteer opportunities are numerous, especially in states like Texas, where large numbers of evacuees are being assisted. School districts in Louisiana and Texas, including Houston ISD, are desperately in need donations of money and school supplies, as well as volunteers to assist displaced students.
