Special Education:

Linguistically Culturally Diverse II --
Populations: American Indian & Spanish Speaking

No. 4001, 2003, 138 pp., $27

Wisconsin has long been a leader in the field of education. In an effort to sustain that leadership, educators have recognized the state must be diligent in its efforts to continually monitor assessment and evaluation methods as well as intervention strategies for students in regular and special education.

In order to address some of these issues, a statewide task force was established to provide information on linguistic and cultural differences of American Indian and Spanish-speaking students and to develop guidelines for assessment procedures used with these students who are experiencing academic and communication difficulties in the educational environment.

This guide is a companion to its predecessors, Linguistically and Culturally Diverse: African American and Hmong and Language Sample Analysis: The Wisconsin Guide. Although this guide addresses American Indian and Spanish-speaking students, educators in regular and special education will find the information useful in their work with students from other bilingual and cultural groups.
