  • Support Program Discussion

    Select two Florida school districts. Based on your reading about the school districts language education programs for ELL students and/or ESL/EAL/ESOL support programs, discuss the following:

    • What model program(s) is/are offered to ELL students in these school districts?
    • Based on what you have learned in this module, compare and contrast the two school districts programs. What is your opinion of these programs? I need 1 more to add, preferably Duval or St. Johns county in Florida.
    • This is what I have so far:
    • The increasing diversity in the student population necessitates school districts like Nassau County to implement ESOL programs that bridge the gap between native language and academic success. Nassau County achieves this through a Mainstream-Inclusion model that is focused on differentiated instruction and specialized ESOL support (Nassau County Schools, 2017). Nassau County Schools utilizes a mainstream-inclusion model or content-based programs that prioritize English-dominant instruction for all grade levels. The Countys ESOL program is structured around a Sheltered English framework that ensures ELL learners are integrated into general education classrooms, and at the same time receiving specific linguistic support (Nassau County Schools, 2017). More specifically, at the elementary level, the district provides specialized ESOL instruction delivered by trained teachers who focus on second language acquisition techniques aimed to enable students grasp foundational concepts. For high schoolers (9-12), the district emphasizes differentiated instruction. Teachers modify their lesson delivery and materials so that ELL can participate in the same grade-level content as their ENL speakers. Nassau Countys model is focused on inclusion. Some models adopt a dual-language approach where students learn in two languages; Nassaus model aims for rapid immersion into the English language to facilitate immediate participation. This policy ensures the students are not held back due to language barriers.Reflecting on the Nassau County ELL Plan, its reliance on English-dominant inclusion models has its strengths and limitations. On the plus side, the plan utilizes various staff to support ELL students, this includes bilingual paraprofessionals, teachers, counselors, and an ELL coach. Further, placement is determined by test scores, students prior academic history, interviews (in home language-Spanish to accommodate non-English speaking population), and social experiment. Some of its limitations include that the materials are provided in Spanish, but for other languages, a translator is provided only if available. Bilingual paraprofessional is prioritized for district schools where the ELL population is largest, possibly leaving students in smaller programs with minimal support (Nassau County, 2017). From the perspective of our textbook, Nassau Countys model is English-dominated. This means the goal is for students to become proficient in English. This is an efficient assimilation approach, but it misses the cognitive, linguistic, and social benefits of dual-language programs cited by proponents in Chapter 3 of Why Tesol? theories and issues in teaching English to speakers of other languages in K-12 classrooms. Overall, the various program models for dual language to transitional bilingual are beneficial in supporting language and literacy development; at the same time, they benefit teachers as they value the cultural identities of their students.

  • Policy Change

    This assignment is designed to connect classroom learning about social welfare policy with real-world advocacy practice. By attending an advocacy event, students will critically examine how policy change is pursued, whose voices are elevated, and how social workers function as policy actors within broader social movements. The paper should integrate policy analysis, critical reflection, and professional role identification.

    Students must attend one policy-focused advocacy event during the semester. Examples include (but are not limited to):

    • Legislative advocacy days (local, state, or federal)
    • Rallies, marches, or demonstrations tied to a specific policy demand
    • Public hearings, town halls, or budget hearings
    • Advocacy trainings hosted by professional organizations
    • Coalition meetings or organized lobbying efforts

    The event must be tied to a specific social policy issue (e.g., income maintenance, housing, healthcare, immigration, child welfare, criminal legal reform). I work for Long Island Against Domestic Violence where we do have advocacy services or you can put that I went to an ICE protest?

    Follow Below:

    I. Description of the Advocacy Event (11.5 pages)

    Provide a concise but substantive overview of the event:

    • What was the event? (Who organized it? Where and when did it occur?)
    • What issue(s) or policy area(s) did it address?
    • Who participated (e.g., community members, advocates, legislators, social workers)?
    • What strategies were used (e.g., speeches, storytelling, lobbying, media engagement)?

    Focus on context and purpose, not just logistics.

    II. The Policy Issue and Proposed Change (22.5 pages)

    Analyze the policy issue at the center of the advocacy effort:

    • What specific policy, law, regulation, or funding decision is being challenged or promoted?
    • What problem does this policy create or fail to address?
    • Who is most affected, and how?
    • What change(s) are advocates seeking?

    Situate the policy within its historical, political, and structural context, drawing on course materials where appropriate.

    III. Policy Analysis and Power Dynamics (22.5 pages)

    Critically assess the advocacy effort:

    • What level(s) of government are targeted?
    • How does power operate in this policy space (e.g., who benefits from the status quo)?
    • What opposition exists, if any?
    • What barriers or facilitators to change were evident?

    In this section, demonstrate your ability to apply policy analysis frameworks (e.g., structural inequality, administrative burden, neoliberalism, racialized policy design).

    IV. The Role of Social Workers in Policy Advocacy (1.52 pages)

    Explicitly connect the event to the professional role of social workers:

    • Were social workers present or involved? In what roles?
    • How does this advocacy align with social work values and ethics?
    • What skills do social workers bring to policy advocacy (e.g., systems analysis, client storytelling, coalition building)?
    • What tensions exist between professional neutrality and advocacy?

    Reference the NASW Code of Ethics and course discussions of social workers as policy actors.

    V. Critical Reflection and Professional Growth (11.5 pages)

    Reflect on your experience and learning:

    • How did attending the event shape your understanding of policy change?
    • What surprised or challenged you?
    • How did the event complicate or reinforce ideas from the course?
    • How might this experience inform your future role as a social worker?

    This section should be reflective but analytically grounded.
