This workshop begins a much-needed discussion on how to effectively educate the significant non-English Learner portion of California's Latino student population. The workshop will examine key components within the Chicano/Latino educational pipeline that must respond to the language and learning needs of the English dominant Chicano/Latino student. This workshop will familiarize participants with the language variety known as Chicano English and will guide participants through culturally and linguistically responsive teaching models that benefit underserved students.
