Programs and Services

Research has shown that kids learn best when schools and families partner together around a common goal of educating their children. The focus of the Migrant Family Math Night is to support these partnerships by providing a night where kids and parents can engage in fun, creative, and unique, standards-based activities.

Allowing families to communicate about math in a hands-on environment allows for deep understanding of important concepts and contributes to more powerful learning experiences. The objective of hosting a Family Math Night for Migrant families is to promote family involvement with math. As a result, families who participate in the event will have a greater understanding of the role they should have as active participants in the education of their children.

The Migrant Education Program at CVUSD provides Migrant After School services at several schools based on migrant student enrollment. The program runs Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays for two hours in elementary school and one hour and a half in middle school. Students engage in fun cultural awareness units, as well as target English language arts and math instruction.

The Migrant After School program is a supplemental service that provides targeted reading, writing, and math intervention to students with learning extension opportunities. Migrant students listed as Priority for Service (PFS) and/or have not met ELA standards will be given priority into the migrant afterschool program. The program includes reading, writing, math and integrated ELD strategies. For ELA, MAS teachers focus on developing and strengthening  the following:

• Develop skills and strategies for ELA reading comprehension
• Support a balance of on-grade level and differentiated instruction
• Provide in-the-moment teacher support to guide teachers and help them build students’ reading habits
• Connect instruction to the Common Core State Standards across K–8 for a coherent path within and across grades

For Math, MAS teachers encourage students to develop a deeper understanding of mathematics concepts through the embedded Standards for Mathematical Practices. In addition, this program builds on students’ prior knowledge with lessons that make connections within and across grade levels and directly address the major focus of the grade (MPO 2.0). The Migrant After School Program focuses on the following:

• Develop mathematical reasoning through lessons that use real-world problem solving as instruction
• Provide ongoing opportunities for cooperative dialogue and mathematical discourse
• Embed Standards for Mathematical Practice to help students develop strong habits of mind
• Strengthen students’ ability to use higher-order thinking and complex reasoning through questions that focus on higher DOK levels

Additionally, Teachers use culturally responsive teaching techniques during their lessons and utilize district-created cultural awareness lessons. The Migrant After School Program is designed to help students improve in their reading, writing, and math abilities. Students will be provided with the targeted intervention geared towards advancing student's reading, writing, and math skills needed to become proficient. (MPO 1.0 & MPO 2.0)

Migrant students who participate in our Migrant After School hone in on language skills through a variety of English Language Development supports and strategies provided by their teacher (MPO 3.0). Through our Culturally and Linguistically Responsive cultural units, students develop self pride as they work towards a better understanding of their culture and other cultures (MPO 13.0).
