Not yet. There are rumors circulating in my district that we are about to have an influx of migrants living in our town and that we will be accommodating the new students, but nothing has happened yet.
You'll have to let us know if it ends up happening and what it does for your workload!
Yes, about a 300% increase overall. A significant number of our gen ed newcomers are from Latin America. A few are from Europe and Asia. We have many secondary students who are WIDA Level 1. They’re in regular core classes, electives, and an English Language Acquisition class. Currently we are translating materials for them. If they don’t receive more direct language instruction, I’m concerned they won’t be proficient in their English skills before they graduate from high school.
Wow! That sounds like an insane increase in workload. I am curious how big your district is? My district is massive and so even though we've seen a slight increase in immigrants, we have had enough educators to mostly spread out all the work. I hope your district can work out the direct language instruction like you said. I've noticed there are tons of kids here who need that as well.
Yes, our HS ELL program has nearly tripled in the last 5 years, primarily from Latin America, but also some from Africa and India.
Wow that is crazy. And in Iowa of all places! Wow
Our border has been managed just fine. Immigrant crossings are low. And, of course the bipartisan border bill was shot down by Trump bc he’d rather have an issue to run on. And, speaker johnson goes along w Trump as do his other followers. No, it’s not overwhelming. The USA has always been about welcoming immigrants from way way back; my mother is an immigrant from Germany but that group doesn’t seem to get the hate and lies told about them like Venezuela immigrants do. Henry Ford welcomed immigrants, he hired my Grandfather who spoke very broken English.
By the way, the Venezuelan immigrants saved Springfield OH. The city was dying before they came, but of course we all know they’re under protective status. Why there’s so many lies and such a force of disgust towards immigrants is beyond my thinking. Not a Christian thing to do. Sorry for rambling, but this topic is exhausting bc of all of the lies.
