Grants and Contracts

Federal

Proposal for a Fulbright Scholarship Award to conduct research in Mexican classrooms (state of Sonora) in academic year 2008-09. The purpose of the study is to better understand the prior classroom experiences of Mexican immigrant children who enroll in American schools. Findings will be used in teacher education to support classroom teachers in American public schools who teach immigrant children. Also, evidence indicates that many immigrant students eventually return to Mexico resulting in a need for Mexican teachers to understand the context of American schools and their experiences here.
