Literacy Programs

Abstract

Educators live in an era of globalization, internationalism, ecological consciousness, and corporate consolidation. Educators cannot make revolutionary transformation within America's Literacy Programs system without transforming their sense of self. Those committed to social change, human agency, and a call to action speaks in personal ways to create nurturing and humane schools for the 21st century. Concerned educators need to do the right thing for children. Viewing civic responsibility as a social movement for oppressed communities suggests as educators, they recognize the complicities of social change and collectively pursuing human agency.

Introduction

When the notion of cultural and linguistic differences is discussed in curriculum studies, it refers to the differences between ethnically, linguistically, and culturally diverse families and mainstream schools in immigrant countries such as the United States and Canada. A diverse cluster of topics is discussed: expectations and values in children's Literacy Programs and academic achievement, attitudes, and approaches to discipline and homework; parental involvement; the role of parents; the role of teachers; the role of schools; English language acquisition and literacy development; home and heritage language and culture maintenance; antiracist Literacy Programs and multicultural Literacy Programs; and other topics. There are calls for culturally sensitive curriculum. Culturally responsive teaching has become both a topic in Literacy Programs studies and a target in teacher Literacy Programs programs. Special programs and projects are developed for English literacy and language development, such as immersion programs in bilingual Literacy Programs, dual language, and multiliteracies (Steiner, 1996).

In curriculum, cultural and linguistic differences, as a term, are inevitably associated with linguistic and cultural diversity. Different people approach and interpret these terms from different points of view. Some emphasize differences and perceive cultural and linguistic differences as a challenging complex issue for school curriculum. Some call for culturally sensitive curriculum and develop well-intended programs to accommodate diverse needs of the learners from different cultural and linguistic groups to help them adapt to and succeed in the mainstream society. Some call for redesigning and reconceptualizing curriculum to address issues and concerns that affect students of different cultural and linguistic groups (Snowball, 2004). Others emphasize diversity over differences in an attempt to celebrate linguistic and cultural diversities as resources for the mainstream schools rather than perceiving cultural and linguistic differences as challenges.
