Vindicated: Closing the Hispanic Achievement Gap Through English Immersion - Paperback

by Johanna J. Haver (Author), Rosalie Pedalino Porter (Foreword by)

This book focuses on how to best educate Hispanic English-limited students who tend to be the ethnic group most likely to be taught in their native language and, consequently, to do poorly when compared to all immigrant children limited in English. It provides evidence that the Hispanic students have made impressive gains where states passed anti-bilingual education laws. It compares that success to the students' failure in New York and Colorado where bilingual education still prevails.
