Students with Interrupted Formal Education
Autor Brenda K Custodio, Judith B O'Loughlinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mar 2017
În literatura academică dedicată pedagogiei incluzive, identificăm adesea o lacună în ceea ce privește strategiile concrete pentru elevii ale căror parcursuri școlare au fost fragmentate de conflicte, migrație sau instabilitate economică. Volumul Students with Interrupted Formal Education vine să completeze acest gol, oferind un cadru metodologic riguros pentru gestionarea nevoilor specifice ale elevilor SIFE. Remarcăm o abordare care depășește simpla predare a limbii engleze, concentrându-se pe reconstrucția capitalului educațional și emoțional al acestor tineri vulnerabili.
Structura volumului este una progresivă, facilitând o înțelegere profundă a fenomenului. Primele capitole stabilesc contextul, cu o analiză detaliată a particularităților elevilor latino-americani și a provocărilor unice întâmpinate de copiii refugiați. Ulterior, autorii propun soluții aplicate pentru dezvoltarea rezilienței, capitolul al patrulea fiind esențial pentru educatorii care doresc să ofere suport socio-emoțional pe termen lung. Finalul cărții extinde perspectiva de la sala de clasă către politici la nivel de școală și district, oferind o viziune sistemică asupra integrării.
Cititorii familiarizați cu English and Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education de Luis Javier Pentón Herrera vor aprecia în acest volum focalizarea intensă pe instrumentele practice și vinietele care ilustrează direct realitatea de la catedră. În timp ce alte lucrări oferă o perspectivă culturală largă, Brenda K Custodio și Judith B O'Loughlin prioritizează intervenția imediată și construirea unor medii de învățare sigure, adaptate ritmului accelerat de recuperare de care acești elevi sunt capabili.

Descriere scurtă
“One of the guiding principles of effective English language teaching is for educators to know their students. And that in a nutshell captures the value of this book. . . . The compassion that Custodio and O’Loughlin feel for our SIFE students, the commitment they have to educating them well, and the comprehension they have of the assets these learners bring to the classroom are evident in the writing, tools, and vignettes they share.”
-Deborah J. Short
Under the best of circumstances, the academic demands of today’s classrooms can be daunting to our English learners. But for the tens of thousands of newly arrived students with interrupted formal education, even the social challenges can be outright overwhelming.
Rely on this all-in-one guide from Brenda Custodio and Judith O’Loughlin for expert insight on how to build the skills these students need for success in school and beyond. Inside you’ll find
- Essential background on factors leading to interrupted education
- Specific focus on refugee children and Latino immigrants
- Guidance on building internal resilience for long-term social and emotional health
- Recommendations for creating supportive environments at the classroom, school, and district level
Recenzii
"With Students with Interrupted Formal Education: Bridging Where They Are and What They Need, Custodio and O’Loughlin have produced an important resource for teachers, school leaders, teacher educators, and community leaders. The authors show readers the many challenges that students with interrupted formal education (SIFE) face and provide critical background information on these English learners. Then the authors give specific strategies for supporting SIFE students academically, socially, and culturally. They include checklists, application ideas, and bibliographies. This book is a must-read for all those working with SIFEs."
"In a much-needed new resource, Brenda Custodio and Judith O’Loughlin address a unique subgroup of English learners with empathy, aptitude, and critical insight. Students With Interrupted Formal Education provides a comprehensive picture of the complex context and rich diversity among SIFEs, while it also offers field-tested, ready-to-use, specific suggestions on how to create a positive support system for SIFEs that lead to student success! I am excited to see the well-deserved attention the authors have given to this hard-to-reach and sometimes underserved group of students."
"Custodio and O'Loughlin provide a thorough yet focused discussion of SIFE and what teachers can do to support them. Their text is recommended for those who work with these students and for those who prepare them to do so."
"Finally, we have an insightful and timely comprehensive resource for our schools that will be immensely helpful to serving the growing numbers of refugee and immigrant children in our classrooms today! So many of these children have fled severe persecution, war, and poverty, which means months or even years of missed schooling. With a deeply compassionate perspective based on their years of rich experience and research, Custodio and O'Loughlin cover it all in this book. Both vulnerable and resilient, these children have shown how successful they can be when classrooms are welcoming and build on their strengths. This practical book will provide educators - and all those who care about these children - with just the information and resources they need. Bravo to Custodio and O'Loughlin - they have produced the first book of its kind that will be critical to the success of these children and our increasingly global education system!"
"This seminal work is the fruit of extensive research and many years of classroom experience on the part of the authors, who truly represent the vanguard in working with Students with Interrupted Formal Education. With clarity and precision, it offers practical steps that teachers, other educational professionals, and district at large can take to champion these students to academic and social success. Designed with great compassion for an increasingly-significant student population, it is indispensable for both seasoned and younger educators alike. Especially in light of today’s political climate, it outlines extensive and highly-innovative strategies that draw upon students’ previous knowledge and background to reveal what is essential for their education and acculturation."
