Criticism of Bilingual Education Is Based on Myths and Fears," by Elizabeth Weiser Ramirez and Jennifer Yanez-Pastor, is a response by the Hispanic Education Coalition to an attack on bilingual education. "Parent Involvement and Students' Educational Rights," by Mikki Symonds, examines barriers to parent involvement and strategies to overcome them. "Assessment and Evaluation of Language Minority Pupils: 20 Years since Lau vs. Nichols," by Albert Cortez, traces development and trends toward reform in assessment of student language proficiency and in evaluation of programs serving language minority students. "Technology and Equity: From Oxymoron to Partnership," by Felix Montes, examines ways in which information and educational technologies can advance equity for minority and low-income students.
