Hmong Language and Culture Enrichment Program Develops Strong Cultural Identities

Noted: Hmong education students at UW-Madison are hired over the summer to work with the HLCEP and get workforce experience. “We also partner with the UW School of Education where students majoring in secondary education come in the summer program to work as tutors,” Her says. “These are non-Hmong-speaking students who want to learn how to work with ESL students and use this culturally relevant teaching model, so when they go on and start teaching they have a great experience under their belt.”
