- Abstract
Developing Together challenges systematic biases that have long plagued research with marginalized populations of children. It traces the unexamined assumptions guiding such research to definitions of subjectivity and the psyche based in Western cultural norms. The book provides alternative paradigms, applying a comprehensive methodology to two unique schooling contexts. Through this new approach children's development can be seen as an interactive, collaborative process. The chapters highlight how theoretical assumptions directly influence research methods and, in turn, affect educational practices. Unique in its provision of a detailed alternative method for conducting research with children, the book explains how the study of collaborative competence would influence education and applied fields. It is an essential resource for researchers in developmental psychology, educators, and policymakers alike.

- Abstract
Migration ist eines der zentralen Themen der Gegenwart. Migrationsphänomene spiegeln dabei nicht nur die machtvolle Bestimmtheit der sozialen Welt, sondern auch ihre grundlegende Unbestimmtheit. Matthias Rangger geht der Frage nach, wie Bildung unter dieser Bedingung gedacht werden kann. Mittels der Modellierung hegemonietheoretischer Perspektiven leistet er eine migrationspädagogische Akzentuierung eines politisch gedachten Bildungsbegriffs in einer postkolonialen Welt. Bildung zeigt sich hier als Bewegung, die nach einem grundlegend anderen Verhältnis zu sich selbst, zu anderen und zur Welt sucht, um darüber bessere Lebensbedingungen für alle zu ermöglichen.

- Abstract
Creating Spaces of Wellbeing and Belonging for Refugee and Asylum-Seeker Students: Skills and Strategies for Classroom Teachers outlines the ways educators can support positive educational and social outcomes for the most vulnerable children in their communities.Each chapter briefly outlines the relevant theory, expanding on this through vignettes from research and analytical reflection, helping the reader identify and apply the differentiated pedagogical understandings in their own classrooms. Providing insights from educators who are doing this work successfully across the globe, the book highlights the challenges and considerations that teachers face in multilingual, multicultural classroom environments where students'common experience is trauma and loss and guides them towards effective practice.This book is intended for use in schools by school leaders and classroom teachers and by educational professionals engaged in supporting schools with students with refugee backgrounds.

- Abstract
This book analyzes stories of university early childhood faculty members, community activists in southern California, and children and the early childhood teacher education students working with them. The grounding of this research is reconceptualization of postmodern narrative theoretical influences. Through narrative inquiry, the book connects ongoing research to ongoing pedagogy. It explores the following research questions: (1) How do learners across generations create, build upon, and reinvent each other's stories to make new meanings through consideration of family history, multigenerational knowledge, and experiences?; (2) How do learners'stories offer new possibilities through leadership that connects Global South knowledge with Global North contexts?; (3) In what ways is it possible to use this framework and methodology in Higher Education to promote systemic consistency in promoting social justice that is generatively inclusive?More than half of the research participants have truly lived bi-culturally, many of the children in the early care and education programs in the USA are from Mexico and Central America. These collaborators truly carry their roots with them as they strive for justice and authenticity in early childhood teacher education and community activists working with families and children.

- Abstract
This text captures the profound unacknowledged crisis that is unique to children of first-generation immigrants, by virtue of their being caught in a world of their parents'culture of origin and their social experience in the United States. The book makes the case for three levels of adolescent crisis unique to this population, namely, the general developmental crisis experienced by all adolescents as articulated by developmental theories; the cultural identity crises experienced by ethnic minority persons as they encounter the layered racialization of American history; and, finally, the unique crisis that arises from conflicting cultural values and morals when first-generation immigrant parents, wanting to preserve native values, clash with their children, who seek belonging in the Western context in which they currently reside. The book traces the psychological, emotional, and social roots of the crisis. The authors, representing immigrants from different continents, portray the unique, ethnic minority challenges they encounter in coming to the US, exemplifying further the tri-level crisis. Finally, the book offers ways that parents can be proactive in helping their children navigate the potential tri-level crisis through ITAV (It Takes a Village) camps and family palavers.

- Abstract
This compilation opens with a study that seeks to understand the ways in which various parent involvement behaviors impact Hmong elementary students'academic abilities in reading and math, also investigating whether or not Hmong students'English proficiency moderates these relationships. The subsequent study focuses on the interrelation between family factors, child-rearing conditions, parents'mindset and formation of civic and ethnic identity of teenagers in mono-ethnic and interethnic families of migrants. The authors go on to present the systemic and cultural stressors voiced specifically by Mexican-American youth, providing implications for community-based participatory research, intervention work, and advocacy. Following this, they assess the outcomes of a school intervention program aimed at improving interethnic relations among primary school children in Italy through foreign language learning activities. The academic achievements and educational trajectories of the children of immigrants in Austria are examined. In particular, the experiences of second- and third-generation pupils may provide a clearer indication of the long-term prospects for integration than those of first-generation immigrants. In closing, Immigrant and Migrant Children: Current Issues and Challenges reviews the current literature about the harmful implications of arrest, detention, and deportation on undocumented children's mental health, discussing the underlying factors of the harmful consequences.

- Abstract
Die Aufnahme von Kindern mit Fluchterfahrung in Kindertageseinrichtungen erfordert ein Umdenken der pädagogischen Angebote und der Arbeit in Bildungseinrichtungen insgesamt. Zum einen, weil diese Kinder andere Erfahrungen gemacht haben als die übrigen Kinder, und zum anderen, weil die vorhandenen pädagogischen Strukturen überwiegend für homogene, einsprachige Gruppen konzipiert sind. Wie kann die Mehrsprachigkeit der Kinder in den Alltag von Kitas einbezogen werden? Mehrsprachigkeit im Kontext der sprachlichen Bildung ist hierfür der Schlüssel. Die sprachlichen Fähigkeiten der Kinder mit Fluchterfahrung sind eine zentrale Ressource bei der Sprachbildungsarbeit in Kindertageseinrichtungen. Hierbei andere Sprachen einzubeziehen, stärkt die vorhandenen Fähigkeiten der Kinder und ermöglicht der Kindertageseinrichtung, sich kulturell und sprachlich für Neues zu öffnen. Auch im Kontext der Inklusion von Kindern mit Fluchterfahrung spielt sprachliche Bildung eine zentrale Rolle, als Kommunikationsmittel zwischen Menschen und als Zugang zur neuen Kultur. Matilde Heredia zeigt, wie die Berücksichtigung der Mehrsprachigkeit bei der sprachlichen Bildung gelingen kann und wie sie Wege für neue pädagogische Strukturen weisen kann, die den aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen gerecht werden. Pädagogische Fachkräfte erhalten durch die Lektüre zahlreiche Impulse für ihren beruflichen Alltag in Kindertagesstätten.

Veränderung ist ihre Normalität. Kulturelle Gegensätze der Alltag, mit dem sie aufwachsen. Third Culture Kids sind eine der am schnellsten größer werdenden Bevölkerungsgruppen in Deutschland. Sie wachsen in einem Spannungsfeld zwischen unterschiedlichsten Kulturen, außerhalb der Heimatkultur ihrer Eltern auf. Die Rückkehr nach Deutschland stellt viele dieser Kinder und Jugendlichen vor existentielle Fragen der Zugehörigkeit. Wo ist ihre Heimat? Wo gehören sie hin? Als unsichtbare Einwanderer bleiben Identität, Werte und Weltbilder von Third Culture Kids häufig hinter ihrer äußerlich angepassten Erscheinung verborgen. Anhand mehrerer qualitativer Interviews geht die Autorin der Frage nach, welche Konzepte von Identität und Zugehörigkeit deutsche Third Culture Kids entwickeln und mit welchen Herausforderungen sie bei der Rückkehr und dem Leben in Deutschland konfrontiert werden. Von besonderem Interesse sind hierbei auch die Strategien, die Third Culture Kids nutzen, um trotz dieser erschwerten Bedingungen für sich Identität und Zugehörigkeit sicherstellen zu können.

- Abstract
Analyse, Bewertung und Gestaltung von Migration gehören zu den zentralen Aufgaben der pluralistischen Gesellschaft. Auch Wissenschaft und Bildung sind in besonderer Weise gefordert. Es kommt darauf an, die Erkenntnisse unterschiedlicher Disziplinen zusammenzutragen und neue Forschungsansätze zu entwickeln. Gleichzeitig bedarf es didaktisch-methodischer Konzepte, um Erfahrungen und Probleme mit Migration und kulturellem Pluralismus zu thematisieren, sowie normative Diskurse zu organisieren. Der Band will dazu ermutigen, Schule im Allgemeinen und Philosophieunterricht im Besonderen für die Erörterung ethischer Fragen der Migration zu nutzen. Die Beiträge thematisieren fachphilosophische, fachdidaktische, allgemeindidaktische Fragestellungen von Migration, Universalismus, Kulturpolitik, Lehrerausbildung und Bildungsarbeit. Die Praxisbeiträge präsentieren Unterrichtseinheiten für verschiedene Klassenstufen, in denen normative Aspekte der Migrationsgesellschaft thematisiert werden.

- Abstract
Un élève allophone est confronté à un ensemble de défis à l'issue de sa migration. Il doit à la fois apprendre une nouvelle langue, s'inscrire dans un contexte scolaire inconnu, construire des relations et s'ouvrir à l'altérité. S'il est adolescent, la tâche s'amplifie, car il est aussi tenu de préparer son insertion professionnelle. Ce livre analyse les pratiques des enseignants travaillant avec de jeunes migrants en fin de scolarité. Comment leur apprennent-ils à parler, à écrire et à communiquer dans des situations diverses? Quels sont les obstacles auxquels ils font face? Comment essaient-ils de les surmonter? Voici quelques lignes de force de leurs démarches : les enseignants proposent des situations ancrées dans les contingences des élèves ; ils misent rapidement sur des activités de production ; ils conçoivent les dispositifs en fonction des projets individuels. La présentation de nombreux exemples permettra d'alimenter d'autres expériences et de former les enseignants. Une tâche particulièrement importante dans les espaces scolaires, pluriels et multilingues qui caractérisent nos sociétés actuelles.

- Abstract
Originally published in 1981. Immigrant children often have significant ethnic, linguistic and cultural differences from children of the host country and require special teaching arrangements. This book is a country-by-country survey of this problem. Each chapter begins by examining the general background to the problem, outlining the nature and extent of immigration in the country in question, and portraying the relationships between immigrant groups and the indigenous population. Each chapter then considers how children's academic performance, social relations, self-esteem and academic and vocational expectations are affected by their immigrant status, and concludes by describing and analysing the special educational programmes adopted to help immigrant children.

Die von den AutorInnen durchgeführte interdisziplinäre Studie zum Bildungserfolg der SpanierInnen in Deutschland erweitert die bestehenden Theorien und Erklärungsansätze zu Bildungserfolgen um den Faktor des bürgerschaftlichen Engagements und trägt dazu bei, Zuwanderung aus einer positiveren und vorurteilsfreieren Perspektive als bisher zu betrachten. Das Ergebnis ist besonders gesellschaftsrelevant, da eine Neudeutung und ein Perspektivwechsel in der Erklärung von Bildungserfolg als Überwindung von Diskriminierungsmechanismen innerhalb des Bildungssystems durch politisches und bürgerschaftliches Engagement einzelner MigrantInnengruppen ermöglicht werden.

- Abstract
Multilingualism in the Early Years is a highly accessible text that examines the political, theoretical, ideological and practical issues involved in the education of children speaking two or more languages. Drawing on current research and thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of being multilingual, Smidt uses powerful case studies to reveal how language or languages are acquired. She explores language in terms of who shares it, its relationship to class, culture, power, identity and thinking, and its fascinating role as it moves from the personal to the public and political. More specifically the book studies: what it means to be bilingual through an analysis of the language histories submitted by a range of people; how language/s define people; a brief history of minority education in the UK; how practitioners and teachers can best support all young children as learners whilst they continue to use their first languages and remain part of and partners in their communities and cultures; being bilingual: an advantage or a disadvantage? the impact of multilingualism on children's educational and life chances. Multilingualism in the Early Years is a really useful text for practitioners working with multilingual children, as well as any student undertaking courses in early childhood education.

- Abstract
This volume highlights issues of power, inequality, and resistance for Asian, African American, and Latino/a students in distinct U.S. and international contexts. Through a collection of case studies it links universal issues relating to inequality in education, such as Asian, Latino, and African American males in the inner-city neighborhoods, Latina teachers and single mothers in California, undocumented youth from Mexico and El Salvador, immigrant Morrocan youth in Spain, and immigrant Afro-Caribbean and Indian teenagers in New York and in London. The volume explores the processes that keep students thriving academically and socially, and outlines the patterns that exist among individuals—students, teachers, parents—to resist the hegemony of the dominant class and school failure. With emphasis on racial formation theory, this volume fundamentally argues that education, despite inequality, remains the best hope of achieving the American dream.

Die Frage nach den Voraussetzungen für die erfolgreiche Integration von Zuwanderern steht in vielen Industriestaaten im Mittelpunkt politischer und sozialwissenschaftlicher Debatten. Janna Teltemann zeigt am Beispiel der Schulleistungen junger Zuwanderer, wie unterschiedliche Rahmenbedingungen der Aufnahmegesellschaften mit den individuellen Voraussetzungen zur Eingliederung zusammenwirken. Der Vergleich der PISA-Studienergebnisse zeigt, dass Bildungssysteme, Sozialpolitik und Integrationsmaßnahmen den Bildungserfolg, insbesondere von Migranten der ersten und zweiten Generation, sehr unterschiedlich beeinflussen

- Abstract
Die hier vorliegende Studie widmet sich dem Zusammenhang von Migration und Schulerfolg. Dabei greift die Literaturstudie auf Konzepte der interkulturellen Pädagogik zurück und thematisiert deren Forschungslage. In einem ersten Teil werden die Erklärungsfaktoren für Schulerfolg unter Anwendung einer systemisch-konstruktivistischen Betrachtungsweise dargelegt. Hierbei blendet die Studie von der Makroebene der „gesellschaftlich-strukturellen Ebene“ über zur Mesoebene „Schule als Institution“ und zur Mikroebene des „Schulumfelds“ und der „Schulklasse“. In einem zweiten Schritt stellt die Untersuchung drei Schulmodelle und deren Umgang mit Migration vor. Das erste Schulmodell ist das QUIMS-Projekt (Qualität in multikulturellen Schulen) des Kantons Zürich. Das Schulhaus St. Johann in Basel stellt das zweite Schulmodell dar. Das dritte Schulmodell ist jenes der Schule Hochdorf. Die drei Modelle werden auf konzeptionelle Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede untersucht und in Form eines Quervergleichs erörtert.

- Abstract
This interdisciplinary volume aims to deepen and enrich the reader's understanding of children's lives in the Global South. At a time when provision for Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) is expanding across the globe, this book highlights issues around early childhood development as well as exploring the importance of including local traditions, culture and knowledge in developing professional practices in the sector. A range of international contributors, including key scholars in the field of early childhood, draw on topics identified for discussion at the Early Childhood in Developing World Contexts International Conference, held at University College Cork, Ireland, in 2011. Much of the exciting research being undertaken in this area remains unrecognized, and the volume aims to communicate some of the important debates currently taking place. The essays are organized into three broad themes: children's lives and livelihoods; early years policy and practice; and language and culture.

- Abstract
Die Eingliederung türkischer Mitbürger in Deutschland ist nach wie vor, auch nach dem Integrationsgesetz von 2005, ein Thema von immenser Wichtigkeit. Bei der Betrachtung dieser Problematik sollte man jedoch nicht bei der Bundesrepublik stehen bleiben, sondern'über den Tellerrand schauen'und internationale Vergleiche ziehen. Dazu wirft Nilüfer Keskin einen Blick auf die Länder Großbritannien und Australien, stellt deren Vorzüge im Umgang mit der Integration türkischer Migranten heraus und weißt auf Schwierigkeiten hin, mit denen sich diese konfrontiert sehen. Nilüfer Keskin fragt: Wie gut integriert sind Menschen mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund im traditionellen europäischen Einwanderungsland Großbritannien, und wie ergeht es ihnen in der lange weltoffenen, zuletzt sich aber abschottenden Gesellschaft Australiens? Beispielhaft konzentriert die Autorin ihre Gegenüberstellung auf die verschiedenen Bildungssysteme als zentrale Hebel für gelungene gesellschaftliche Integration.

- Abstract
Die Diskussion um das Thema „Bildung“ hat in den letzten Jahren stetig zugenommen. Sowohl in der Öffentlichkeit als auch in der Wissenschaft wird unter anderem diskutiert, wie man Bildungsdefizite wirkungsvoll verringern kann. Festzustellen ist, dass der Bildungserfolg der Kinder und Jugendlichen für ihre berufliche, aber auch für ihre private Zukunft eine bedeutende Rolle eingenommen hat. Der Bildungserfolg der Kinder und Jugendlichen in Deutschland steht in einem engen Zusammenhang zu der Ethnizität und der sozialen Positionierung der Herkunftsfamilie. In dem vorliegenden Buch werden daher Hochschulzugang und Barrieren am Beispiel der sogenannten zweiten Generation türkischer Jugendlicher näher beleuchtet. Der Arbeit liegt die These zugrunde, dass einige der Studierenden in ihrer Bildungslaufbahn Ausgrenzungen und Diskriminierung auf Grund ihrer Herkunft erfahren haben. Dieser Frage wird unter Auswertung des zur Verfügung stehenden wissenschaftlichen Schrifttums nachgegangen. Im Übrigen wird die Arbeitsmigration in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland unter Berücksichtigung der politischen und aufenthaltsrechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen untersucht, da sich hieraus Rückschlüsse auf das Entstehen von Hochschulzugangsbarrieren der zweiten Generation türkischer Studierender ziehen lassen. Integration und Ausgrenzung der zweiten Generation bilden einen weiteren Schwerpunkt des Buches. Des Weiteren werden die gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen des schulischen Bildungsweges in Deutschland am Beispiel des Landes Niedersachsen dargestellt, da der Bildungserfolg in der Schule eine notwendige Voraussetzung für den Erwerb der Hochschulzugangsberechtigung ist. In einem weiteren Teil des Buches wird die der Arbeit zugrunde liegende Leitfrage im Rahmen einer Online-Umfrage unter Studierenden mit (türkischem) Migrationshintergrund empirisch verifiziert. Aus den Ergebnissen der Befragung werden abschließend Handlungsfelder für die Soziale Arbeit herausgearbeitet.

- Abstract
Valuable teaching moments and life lessons are illustrated in a personal and colorful story told by a successful immigrant parent. Immigrants struggle with two cultures and so do their children. How do they mesh the two? An American Journey teaches immigrant parents life lessons to convey to their children in easy to understand and simple English, with examples dealing with almost every facet of their children's lives.The chapters deal with issues that are critical to immigrants: faith, values, family, marriage, home, education, and friends. The freedom they wanted to enjoy in the U.S is often the very thing immigrants blame for the conflicts with their children, who struggle to adhere to their parent's wishes and also experience the freedoms their friends enjoy. Practical advice is given based on personal experiences.

- Abstract
One of the challenges faced by Early Years and Primary teachers today is catering effectively for the variety of needs within their classrooms and settings. It can indeed be very challenging to provide appropriate and stimulating activities to facilitate access to the curriculum for bilingual children. The primary aim of this book is to provide some guidance for practitioners through tried and tested strategies to support bilingual learners in the appropriate Key Stages. Suggested activities reflect children's various linguistic and cultural experiences and highlight the importance of maintaining the role of the home language. The practical examples shown in this book reflect positive practice observed both at home and in some schools where such experiences are used most effectively.

- Abstract
Shortlisted for the Nasen Book that supports SEN and Disability Issues Award 2008Are children who are exposed to more than one language from birth at an advantage or a disadvantage when starting school?Supporting Multilingual Learners in the Early Years examines the theoretical, ideological and practical issues involved in the education of children speaking two or more languages coming to settings which are predominantly monolingual. The book examines current research and thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of being multilingual and tackles complex topics such as: what being multilingual implies in terms of prior learning and why this matters in education the importance of respect for diversity and encouraging children to be proud of their language and culture practical ways to help young children acquire English ways of working with parents who themselves have little or no English the differences and difficulties involved in a child learning an additional language so early on in their lives strategies for exploring the learning of multilingual learners and a review of the resources and activities that could help. Sandra Smidt views multilingualism as a cognitive advantage and shows how Early Years practitioners can use interactive styles of learning to focus on the benefit that the many cultures and languages in the classroom can bring to children's learning and development.Written in a highly accessible tone, this book offers practitioners a mix of practical case studies and examples in which theory is embedded and its importance explained. Students of early childhood education will also appreciate the author's carefully structured approach to the topic, as she includes summary boxes, glossaries and points for reflection in each chapter.

- Abstract
“This book does not focus simply on the employment prospects of first generation higher education entrants but rather engages with the wider possibilities of social engagement and transformation that can arise from participation in higher education. It provides essential reading for administrators, policy-makers, managers, academics and indeed anyone else interested in how to widen the socio-economic base of higher education so that the process is informed by a significant concern with social justice and reducing inequality.”Rosemary Deem, Professor of Education, University of BristolThis book examines the proposition that parental education is a key factor contributing to the access and success of students, but that insufficient attention is paid to this by researchers, national systems and institutional interventions. Analysis of research findings from ten countries, plus a UK wide study, indicates that parental education is more important in determining access to higher education than parental employment or financial status. The book provides a clear conceptualisation of first generation entry, exploring its complex interrelationship with social class. Furthermore, it demonstrates that when first generation entry is used as a lens, it disrupts the taken for granted assumptions regarding widening participation and helps produce much more effective approaches to targeting access and supporting student success.First Generation Entry into Higher Education provides a unique and insightful examination of how first generation entrants are supported or otherwise by different national approaches and institutional responses.

The purpose of this qualitative study is to understand the beliefs and experiences of Korean immigrant parents who chose to send their children to a Korean dual language bilingual education (DLBE) program in the United States. Utilizing cultural historical activity theory and bilingualism as theoretical and conceptual frameworks, the author explored (a) how these parents’ prior experiences, transnational/transcultural knowledge, ethnic and cultural identities, and language ideologies have contributed to their educational decision and (b) how the parents are mobilizing their children’s heritage language education through a DLBE program. To honor and value the participants’ emic view, this study employed in-depth individual interviews, activity-based focused group interviews, home visits, and participant observations. Furthermore, for participants to experience and explore dynamic ways to share their stories and lived experiences, the author facilitated opportunities for multiple multimodal research activities such as a shared community walk, a word association activity, and a map drawing activity. The findings revealed that the most important motivation for choosing a Korean DLBE program over English-only programs came from their strong Korean ethnic pride and identity, which they all felt obliged to pass on to their children. Additionally, the participants became social, cultural, and educational resources for each other to compensate and overcome various challenges in supporting their children’s bilingual education due to the short bilingual teacher retention, isolated program configuration, and discontinuity of the program after elementary school. All the participants embodied the importance of maintaining heritage language and culture, actively supporting their children’s in and out of school experience and advocating for their children’s bilingual education. This study offers implications and suggestions for teaching and research as well as for ethnically, culturally, and linguistically marginalized immigrant bilingual communities. The author hopes to contribute to research and pedagogical practices in bilingual/bicultural education, heritage language learning, and community-based research, focusing on finding ways to better serve minoritized immigrant communities in the United States.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how parental beliefs, practices, and values of Korean immigrant parents regarding mathematics education in the United States are adjusted from the perspective of ecology of human development. This research further explored how participants’ cultural identities are affected by acculturation process. In addition, the researcher examined the transformations of parents’ perspectives on mathematics learning and achievement as they integrate into the dominant culture. The study used mixed methods to obtain information about the research participants’ experience as immigrant parents and interrelationships with their second-generation children regarding mathematics learning and achievement. A sample of Korean American parents (n = 44), whose children were currently enrolled in a mathematics course at the time or had taken at least one mathematics course within the past 3 to 5 years in middle or high school, participated in a quantitative survey; a subsample of immigrant parents (n = 10) participated in semi-structured interviews. The study utilized the Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (SL-ASIA) and the Attitudes Toward Mathematics Inventory (ATMI). The results of the study indicated that even though Korean American parents shared the same nonnormative transition, they developed diverse intrinsic values and acculturation styles. Further, the parents’ perspectives on their children’s mathematical learning and achievement were influenced by traditional culture, dominant culture, and the interaction of both. The study also revealed that Korean immigrant parents used other Asian American students’ mathematical performance and learning as a frame of reference for their own children’s mathematical performance and learning; in addition, parents’ participation in children’s mathematics at home differed by acculturation levels. The main reason for the parents’ active support of and engagement in mathematics was that mathematics was the only subject which these immigrant parents adequately understood, and their aspiration for higher mathematics education was due to both immigrant optimism and pessimism. After moving to a different country, Korean parents’ abilities to perceive, conceptualize, and interact develop at different levels in new complex environments, where values, customs, and socioeconomic status contrast with those they had developed previously. These changes in intrafamilial processes and extrafamilial situations affected the development of the Korean immigrant parents’ cultural identity and reciprocal interactions with their second-generation children.

Three questions are explored in this dissertation. The first is whether the executive functions of Head Start participants are improved in comparison to those of children who did not attend center-based care before attending kindergarten. By matching and comparing the outcomes of a nationally representative cohort of kindergarten children (ECLS-K:2011) grouped by the type of childcare they received in the year preceding school entry, I find that Head Start participants exhibit slightly higher cognitive flexibility scores (as well as reading and math outcomes) in comparison to highly similar children who did not experience center-based care before starting school. Children who participated in Head Start demonstrate working memory skills that are not significantly different from those of closely-matched children who experienced no center-based care, but their skills in this area are slightly weaker than those of similar children who attended school-based public pre-k or other center-based care. The second question is how math content level during kindergarten affects children with different early care experiences, with focus on Head Start participants. The use of piece-wise linear growth curves to analyze children’s development in working memory, cognitive flexibility, reading and math reveals that advanced math content in kindergarten does have a positive relationship with math and reading achievement for Head Start participants, but these students do not gain as much on average from this instructional approach as more advantaged groups do. More basic math content, such as counting has a negative association with growth in math for more advantaged groups of children. Finally, any increases in kindergarten growth rates resulting from math content do not appear to persist through first and second grades. The third question asks whether there are significant differences in the trajectories of Head Start participants according to parent nativity. In analysis using piece-wise linear growth curve models to analyze Head Start (HS) participants’ development in working memory, cognitive flexibility, reading and math, results indicate that HS participants with immigrant parents exhibit an additional surge in EF development in the period between the spring of kindergarten and the spring of second grade, later than the average kindergarten increase for all HS participants. Additionally, HS participants with immigrant parents exhibit slightly higher average growth rates in reading during kindergarten when compared to HS participants with non-immigrant parents.

My dissertation examines second generation Dominican high school students and their parents in a diverse, middle-class suburb. At a moment when immigrant families are arriving directly to suburban locations, and the number of second generation immigrants in our public schools is growing, it is important to examine how they are making sense of their experiences in this new context. In my study, I consider how one sub-group of Latinx high school students, with at least one parent born in the Dominican Republic, are experiencing a new place. Specifically, I look at their experiences within their community, school and family influence their assimilation processes, their ideas about future success, and the role of education in reaching that success. I also explore how the parents’ experiences in this community inform their definitions of success for their children and the role that education plays in achieving it, and how those beliefs affect their children. I examine the parents’ accounts through in-depth interviews and the students’ accounts through pre and post in-depth interviews two years apart, as well as photo elicitation interviews. I found that the location of this suburb, adjacent to an ethnic enclave, provides a context that supports the process of selective acculturation, whereby the students are learning English and American customs while also developing and maintaining their Dominican cultural practices, including speaking Spanish. I also uncovered nuances to their understanding of the role of education in securing future success, through the use of open-ended questions. I found that the students with college-educated parents were more cautious about believing in the American Dream, and the idea that education guarantees success. Despite this, all of the families in the study approached education in similar ways, a style typically attributed to low-income families. And lastly, I found that the families lacked the social and cultural capital to gain educational advantages, specifically in the college application process. My study challenges the assumption that immigrant families arriving to middle-class suburbs are equipped to take advantage of the resources that their place of residence can afford them. Living in this type of place signals an achievement of the American Dream, but we have to question whether their children will be able to maintain it.

The feminization of Mexican migration to the United States is increasing, and more mothers who migrate leave their children behind for long periods to be cared for by grandparents or relatives in Mexico. Women also form new families when they arrive in the United States, but continue to "care" for the children who stayed in Mexico. We know little about how transnational familial ties across the U.S. -Mexico border influence the educational trajectories of children who stay behind, are born here and are brought over from Mexico. This study asks how Mexican maternal migration has influenced care arrangements and education trajectories of the children in Mexico, comparing these to their siblings who were brought over to America or who were born in the United States. In this dissertation I address how U.S. bound Mexican maternal migration shapes and influences children and youth in both sides of the border. These families, or what refer to "transnational care constellations" include the following types of members: New York based undocumented mothers; the children they brought to the U.S. (also undocumented); their U.S. born offspring (U.S. citizens); children they have left behind in Mexico; and children's caregivers in Mexico. Drawing on ethnographic method I examine transnational caregiving practices among women with children in New York and Mexico. After recruiting twenty families to participate in my study I established three levels of engagement with participants. Eight transnational care constellations constituted the center of my qualitative research. I spent time with them in Mexico and in New York and tracked half of them for over three years. The second level of engagement happened with the other twelve families who I interviewed and observed in New York City, but visited less times in Mexico. Finally, participants who belonged to the third level of engagement were forty mothers in New York City, fathers, caregivers and over sixty children and youth in Mexico who were not matched. In addition I surveyed over 200 children between the ages of seven and sixteen in three schools in Puebla to assess the impacts of maternal remittance on school achievement. Specifically, I compare the educational experiences and social trajectories of three groups of children: the ones left in Mexico, the undocumented children and youth brought to the U.S., and those born in the U.S. The ethnographic core of my dissertation work tracked twenty transnational families who are split between Mexico and the U.S over a period of 18 months. I have traveled back and forth between different states in Mexico and New York in order to capture the dynamism of communities who are "here and there." The children and youth in what I refer to as "care constellation" share the same biological mother who has migrated to New York City, but their lives differ dramatically in terms of academic achievement and familial support.

More than one in four children under age 6 in the United State are children of immigrants, and the majority of these children are Asian and Hispanic. Despite this, there have been few studies on the early development of young children of immigrants. In particular, although healthy development in the early years of life is important in helping children get ready for school, little is known about school readiness among children in immigrant families. Therefore, this study examines school readiness among children of Asian and Hispanic immigrant mothers, with particular attention to two important characteristics of immigrant families: maternal language use and use of preschool. This study is composed of five chapters, starting with Chapter 1 that introduces the background and purpose of this study. Chapter 2 reviews the theoretical backgrounds for the association between maternal language use and the development of young children in immigrant families, and then for the role of preschool in children's school readiness. Using a nationally representative sample of children of Asian and Hispanic immigrant mothers from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (ECLS-B), Chapters 3 and 4 examine whether maternal language use is associated with school readiness and whether preschool plays a protective role in promoting school readiness, respectively. Finally, Chapter 5 concludes by summarizing the findings and providing implications for theory and methodology, future research, and social work and policy. In Chapter 3, this study finds generally advantages of maternal use of English and bilingualism for children's cognitive development at kindergarten entry in both Asian and Hispanic groups. It also finds, compared to children of home language Asian mothers, higher levels of pro-social behavior among those of English dominant and bilingual Asian mothers, but also higher levels of behavior problems among those of English dominant Asian mothers. Furthermore, in additional analyses, this study finds that longer residency in the U.S. is associated with higher levels of approaches to learning for children of bilingual Asian mothers and lower levels of behavior problems for children of bilingual Hispanic mothers. In Chapter 4, this study finds that attending preschool (mostly prekindergarten or other center-based care) is associated with better academic school readiness at kindergarten entry among children of Asian immigrant mothers, but not children of Hispanic immigrant mothers. This study also finds higher levels of behavior problems and lower levels of approaches to learning among children in Head Start compared to those in parental care in both Asian and Hispanic groups. In addition, this study finds beneficial associations between preschool and academic school readiness at the year of participation among children of both Asian and Hispanic immigrant mothers, but these beneficial associations do not hold up at kindergarten entry among children of Hispanic mothers, while such associations are still found at kindergarten entry among children of Asian mothers. This study also finds more pronounced beneficial influences of preschool on academic school readiness at the year of participation among children of mothers who speak their home language in both Asian and Hispanic groups, but such more pronounced benefits are gone at kindergarten entry in both groups.
