Reflections from the Classroom: Teacher Perspectives on the Implementation of Proposition 227.
Alamillo, Laura; Viramontes, Celia
Bilingual Research Journal, v24 n1-2 p155-67 Win-Spr 2000
Interviews with 77 California teachers who either continued teaching bilingual education, switched to English immersion, or continued teaching English immersion sought their perspectives on impacts of Proposition 227 to the teaching profession, instructional practices, students, school culture, and teacher relationships. Implementation of Proposition 227, high stakes testing, and increased accountability created a tense and demoralizing environment for teachers. (Author/TD)
