Describe the effects that political, legal and historical events have had on English language instruction in the state of Arizona

Prompt Statement: In recent years, Arizona has shifted to a more Cultural Western approach in English Language instruction in the public education classrooms. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Proposition 203-English Only initiative, the court cases of Flores v Arizona (1992), and Lau v. Nichols, had major influences on the Arizona Structured English Immersion (SEI) Programs. This act has been enforced through the establishment and monitoring of the Arizona Structured English Immersion program. Describe the effects that these political, legal and historical events have had on English language instruction in the state of Arizona. In your discussion, include the implications of such events on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes educators must possess to be effective instructors of English Language Learners (ELLs) within the Arizona Structured English Immersion program.
