Migrant Education Region III
Amelia Jimenez, ​Director  

Amelia JimenezMigrant Education is a national program that provides educational and support services to eligible migrant children each year. These services help children of migrant workers overcome the disadvantages they face including disruption to their education.

The purpose of Migrant Education Region III Program is to provide supplementary instructional and supportive services during both regular year and summer/intersession to enable migrant children to obtain a quality education. These services are offered, as instructional support assistance to meet the unique needs known to accompany migrancy. Interruptions in schooling, coupled with factors such as low socio-economic status and linguistic/cultural differences, put migrant children in a vulnerable position for achieving academic success.

Collaboration with school districts and a multitude of support agencies is done to provide migrant students with the best opportunities for educational success. Links among schools, migrant families and communities are at the heart of Migrant Education services.

The Migrant Education program has strong parent involvement programs that consist of parent advisory committees that guide the type of services that are offered in the districts and region. Parent committees meet a minimum of six times per year.

Currently, Region III has over 9,000 students (ages 3-21) identified in the three counties of Merced, Madera, and Stanislaus.

MEP Enrichment ERWC Module "Age of Responsibility"

The module is designed to engage students in the ongoing, shifting debate about when an individual may be considered an adult. Throughout the module, students develop conceptual understandings about how legal ages for certain “adult” rights (e.g., drinking, driving, voting) are determined and how new research continues to challenge our concept of what constitutes adulthood. Peer discussions and analytical reading of multiple texts and media selections on the topic will strengthen students’ abilities to write comprehensively and persuasively on the topic. Language analysis and language awareness building activities will support students’ understandings about how to use language effectively to craft an effective argument.

Module Learning Goals At the conclusion of the module, students will be able to 

• Contribute to extended discussions, justifying claims with evidence • Identify the main arguments or claims within a text and the evidence and reasoning used to support them 

• Analyze arguments for their rhetorical effectiveness, structure and organization, persuasive language 

• Write and revise an argument, with a focus on organizational structure, rhetorical effectiveness, and academic language use 

• Critique their own and others’ ideas and writing, using agreed-upon norms and evaluation criteria
