It's been reported here already that Missouri is pushing a tough new anit-immigrant bill that would require schools to report the documentation status of its students. But also, from the Curious Ostrich, comes word that in New Mexico, "currently only one of three states in the nation that makes drivers licenses available to undocumented individuals, Governor Susana Martinez is again pushing the legislature to “just sit down and vote” to repeal this right." CO reports that both initiatives are unlikely to make their ways into law, but that the "the rhetoric being used to push them is quite troubling."

I am a professor in the Lynch School of Education and Human Development at Boston College, and director of the Curriculum & Instruction doctoral program. I have served as an associate editor at Child Development, Applied Psycholinguistics, and an editor at Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools. I was a bilingual teacher in Detroit, MI and have worked in district, state, and nonprofit settings. I work with bilingual learners from multilingual homes in K-8 settings, thinking about language use and development, cross-linguistic relations, instructional interventions, and teacher practice. I've published a bunch of articles and book chapters, and have developed language and reading curricula. I always work in close collaboration with teachers to facilitate the translation of research to practice.
