Description: "Migrant farm laborers are often called America's "invisible people" - a term that, tragically, is just as applicable to their children. Because their lives are transitory and their English skills often limited, our opportunities to have a lasting impact on their literacy education are far too brief. But that makes these children no less deserving of our full commitment. In "Where Do I Go from Here?" Karen Vocke describes how to make the most of each day, creating an educational experience that will serve all children long after they leave our classrooms." "Always mindful of state standards and assessment requirements, Vocke demonstrates how to modify the curriculum and adapt strategies to facilitate English language acquisition and content-area knowledge."--BOOK JACKET.
