In a handbook prepared for use in workshops on migrant education, suggestions for improved English language programs for migrant children and their parents are presented, along with in-service education recommendations to help teachers gain skills required to teach English as a second language. A health and nutrition program for disadvantaged migrant children is outlined which emphasizes practices in the school which are needed to promote establishment of good health habits. The duality of certain American values and the school's role in value learning are examined. The importance of operational values such as personal independence and group cooperation, and the importance of helping the disadvantaged child to develop his own value system are emphasized. (DA)
