This book was released on 2018 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hmong people have been living in the United States for more than four decades, primarily in the states of California, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The Hmong came to the United States as refugees from Laos when that country was overtaken by the Communist Pathet Lao in 1975. The Hmong have made great strides in assimilating into their new culture and society; however, a number of research studies have shown that Hmong students are struggling in higher education institutions today. In 1976, when the first Hmong refugees began entering the U.S., more than 70 percent of them had no prior education, either in Laos or while living in the transition camps in Thailand. Even so, many have successfully attained college degrees and live prosperous lives. The purpose of this action research project is to understand Hmong parents' view of the roles they play in their children's success in college education in the U.S. The research was conducted among six maternal parents residing in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews. The results indicated that the participants' high regard for education, their active involvement in their children's school activities, their provision of financial support, and their practice of early reading to their children (some even in utero), were important components in their children's educational success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an educator witnessing students not complete their school work or parents communicating with the school, the lack of parental support is a frequent occurrence each school year. Students' academic success does not solely rely on students, but also on their parents and those within the student's environment. There have been numerous parental involvement studies on diverse populations but there has not been one specifically on English Language Learners (ELLs) Hmong parents. Since the Hmong has grown significantly within the last 40 years; a problem that Hmong still face is a lack of support for those not achieving academic success because they are "lumped" together with other Asian ethnic groups, which often hides their academic struggle. As indicated by Hing (2012) over one-third of all Hmong, Cambodian, and Laotian Americans over the age of twenty-five do not have a high school diploma. Almost 70% of Indian and over 50% of Chinese, Pakistani, and Korean-Americans over the age of twenty-five have a bachelor's degree, while Cambodian, Hmong, and Laotian-Americans who have bachelor's degrees average around 13% (Hing, 2011). This is a critical issue because Hmong students are not receiving the resources and the help needed to attain academic success within the educational system. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of parent involvement workshops and training on Hmong-speaking parents' participation in their child's education at home. A series of 9 workshops focused on various forms of reading comprehension instruction implemented through shared reading provided in English and/or Hmong. The methods used by Hmong parents during reading to help their child were examined as well as if access to reading strategies in their primary language impacted the support they provided their children in reading. Communication between the home and school were also examined to see if there was an increase in communication after participating in the workshops. Pre-and post qualitative data came from the 4 parent participants of second grade students that consisted of parent survey and interviews. This data was analyzed to help understand the developmental growth of the parents. Also the 4 second grade students whose parents were participants in this study were interviewed to help document what parents were doing different at home. The results of qualitative data collected indicate an increase in parental involvement after participation in the training and workshops. Before the workshops, 1 out of 4 parent participants was helping their child at home and on reading. However after the study, all 4 parent participants were engaging and talking more with their child at home on homework and reading. The Hmong parents' definition of "help" changed. Before the workshops, parents' deifined "help" as being able to decode. If the parents could not read, then they could not help. Now parents described helping their child by talking and questioning what their child was reading, which ultimately will help their child's literacy development.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally and culturally, the Hmong valued formal education highly as an open door to economic stability and higher social status, but historically, they have never had the opportunity to truly live out their educational values. Today, the Hmong are living in the greatest country on earth, the United States of America, where they have found the opportunities to live out their dreams and hopes. Adjusting from preliterate culture to modernization and technological and industrial culture is a big challenge the Hmong are facing in their adopted country. As parents are adapting to new cultures in America, they felt they also needed to preserve their traditional cultures. They are living in two contrasted worlds. As result, parents are slowly assimilated into mainstream society, and children are growing up in between two worlds. Children are inheriting Hmong cultural values by reinforcement of traditional practices at home and learn about American values and cultures in school. In fact, schools have functioned as major agents of assimilation for Hmong children. Many Hmong adults having difficulty in assimilating to American mainstream culture because they are lacking English skills and have only minimal formal educational background. They have no hope to be successful educationally and economically. However, they appreciate the educational opportunities their children receive in America and want them to become educated, because education, especially higher education, is the only means to ensure their future economic security. In order to reach their dreams, Hmong parents and children have to pay a heavy price for their journey to educational and economic successes. I hope that by hearing their struggles and experiences will help us get an insight of the whole story.

This book was released on 2015-08-28 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study examines the personal history and risk factors that affect Hmong students in post-secondary education from the students' perspectives. Ten Hmong students (five male students and five female students) from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities were recruited to participate in this study. A series of open-ended questions was given to the participants. The researcher used content analysis to analyze the data. Categories were first developed from the interview responses and then were linked to previous related literature. After 40 years of living in the United States, the Hmong are still encountering many challenges in post-secondary education primarily due to internal (cultural barriers) and external (academic setting) conflicts. Acculturation is a continuous process in which individuals and families adopt different strategies at different times, and must deal with different life issues; thus, it is imperative that social workers and other professionals be knowledgeable about the current literature on how to effectively serve this population.

Book excerpt: While the model minority myth stereotypes Asian Americans as the role model for other ethnic minorities, many Asian Americans are faced with economic, educational, and occupational hardships amongst other challenges (Museus & Yi, 2016). In one report, 14% Hmong, 13% Cambodian, and 12% Laotian Americans obtained bachelor degrees, which is less than half the national average of 28% (Museus, 2014). According to Museus and Yi (2016), there are over 24 different Asian ethnic groups from different languages, cultures, and customs. More studies focusing on Hmong college students' motivation to pursue higher education and parental support would provide greater insight into their educational experience. The purpose of the current study was to investigate whether motivation and perception of parental support predicted Hmong college students' pursuit of a higher education. Data were collected at a Northern Californian public university via a Hmong student organization and Hmong language class. A total of 50 Hmong college students between the ages 18 and 31 participated in the study and were surveyed through a series of questionnaires. Findings show that motivation significantly influenced higher education, even while accounting for parental support. While parental support and motivation were related, parental support did not significantly predict Hmong students' pursuit of a higher education. Hmong college students are part of the Southeast Asian community for which there is a lack scholarly research. By further investigating and providing scholarly research on Hmong college students, this study seeks to take an important step in enhancing their educational quality and better serve the Hmong community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parental involvement plays an essential role in the United States (U.S.) educational system. However, parental involvement poses many challenges for Hmong parents in American schools. Many assumptions are made on the parts of teachers, staff, and Hmong parents about parents' roles pertaining to their involvement in their children's education. Hmong parents struggle to reconcile beliefs, attitudes, and values that they bring with them from Laos with the expectations found in the U.S. due to their unfamiliarity with the U.S. educational system. This study employed the used a qualitative, descriptive case study approach to examine the perceptions of Hmong parents involvement at a K-6 Hmong American charter school in Northern California. The primary data collection method used in this study was interviews with four school-community stakeholder groups. The purposeful-selected interview participants included two administrators, four teachers, six parents, and four students. The interviews were dialogically coded and nine themes were developed related to parental involvement. These nine themes were: communication with parents, committee involvement, flexibility of staff, enrichment programs non-traditional school schedule, importance of field trips, cultural events and presence of other cultures, recommend school to others, and positive behavioral reinforcement. The study concludes with a presentation of the implications of the nine themes on the design of parent involvement models and recommendations are offered related to policies and connected strategies for how to design culturally relevant supports for parent involvement in education.
