Trainer’s Resource Materials What’s Missing? Word Bank Module 4 Level 1 Agricultural work Fishing work Home base Migratory streams Out-of-school youth Send and receive Settled out Migratory child Migratory agricultural worker Qualifying move Materials Timer Trainer’s Notes Tell participants that today’s discussions and activities will require them to have a working knowledge of many common MEP terms. To make sure everyone understands what is being discussed, participants will have a warm-up activity to review specific vocabulary. Note: If the training is primarily for new recruiters, refer participants to the National ID&R Manual, Chapter 4: Building a Recruitment Network and the Glossary to scan the terminology as they complete this activity. Ask participants to find a partner for this activity. Together the pair will complete the “What’s Missing” activity in their Outline (pp. 1–2). Participants will have 10 minutes. Leave the Word Bank slide displayed while participants complete the activity. When participants are finished, tell them they will now debrief their responses as a whole group. They should make corrections or additional notes in their Outline (pp. 1–2). Click to the next slide. National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 6

What’s Missing? Module 4 Level 1 _____________ a child who made a qualifying move in the preceding 36 months as a migratory agricultural worker or a migratory fisher or did so with, or to join, a parent/guardian or spouse who is a migratory agricultural worker or migratory fisher. Trainer’s Notes The correct response is migratory child. Ask participants to provide the term and their description or the definition. Click to the next slide. Discussion Points A child is a “migratory child” if the following conditions are met: The child is not older than 21 years of age; and a. The child is entitled to a free public education (through grade 12) under state law, or b. The child is not yet at a grade level at which the LEA provides a free public education, and The child made a qualifying move in the preceding 36 months as a migratory agricultural worker or migratory fisher, or did so with, or to join, a parent/guardian or spouse who is a migratory agricultural worker or migratory fisher; and With regard to the qualifying move identified in paragraph 3, above, the child moved due to economic necessity, from one residence to another residence, and from one school district to another; or in a state comprising a single school district, has moved from one administrative area to another within such district; or resides in a school district of more than 15,000 square miles and migrates 20 miles or more to a temporary residence.

8 Trainer’s Resource Materials
What’s Missing? Module 4 Level 1 _____________ are under the age of 22, have dropped out of school, and may be working on an HSED outside of a K–12 institution, or may be “here to work” only. Trainer’s Notes The correct response to this question is out-of-school youth. Ask participants to provide the term and their description or the definition. Click to the next slide. Discussion Points Migratory youth who are “here to work” are typically from Mexico and have come to the country for the sole purpose of earning a living. A discussion about how the MEP might assist this population may follow, and services may vary from program to program. You will want to be aware of allowable services for here-to-work youth. National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 8

9 Trainer’s Resource Materials
What’s Missing? Module 4 Level 1 _____________ is a person who, in the preceding 36 months, made a qualifying move and, after doing so, engaged in new temporary or seasonal employment or personal subsistence in agriculture. Trainer’s Notes The correct response is migratory agricultural worker. Ask participants to provide the term and their description or the definition. Click to the next slide. Discussion Points The term “migratory agricultural worker” means an individual who made a qualifying move in the preceding 36 months and, after doing so, engaged in new temporary or seasonal employment or personal subsistence in agriculture, which may be dairy work or the initial processing of raw agricultural products. If an individual did not engage in such new employment soon after a qualifying move, such individual may be considered a migratory agricultural worker if the individual actively sought such new employment and has a recent history of moves for temporary or seasonal agricultural employment. National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 9

10 What’s Missing? A _____________ is made due to economic necessity;
Trainer’s Resource Materials What’s Missing? Module 4 Level 1 A _____________ is made due to economic necessity; from one residence to another residence; and from one school district to another school district. Trainer’s Notes The correct response is qualifying move. Ask participants to provide the term and their description or the definition. Click to the next slide. Discussion Points The term “qualifying move” means a move due to economic necessity; from one residence to another residence; AND from one school district to another school district except in the case of a state comprising a single school district, wherein a qualifying move is from one administrative area to another within such district; in the case of a school district of more than 15,000 square miles, where a qualifying move is a distance of 20 miles or more. All three aspects must be true for the move to be a qualifying move. If any aspect is not true or is missing, then the move is not a qualifying move and the child(ren) or youth would not be eligible for MEP services.

11 Florida: sending state
Trainer’s Resource Materials What’s Missing? Module 4 Level 1 A town, city, or state may _________________ migratory workers. South Carolina: receiving state Florida: sending state Trainer’s Notes The correct response is send and receive. Ask participants to provide the term and their description or the definition. Click to display the example. Click to the next slide. Discussion Points In this example, Florida is the location the family moved from, so Florida is the “sending” state. When the family moves to South Carolina to work, South Carolina becomes the family’s “receiving” state. Note that a county may “receive” migratory workers who move from state to state (inter-state) as well as migratory workers who simply move from place to place within a state (intra-state).

Tell participants they will be looking at examples of qualifying seasonal and temporary employment later in the training to help deepen their understanding of the differences between the two. Click to the next slide. Talking Points Seasonal employment: Employment that occurs only during a certain period of the year because of the cycles of nature and that, in its essence, may not be continuous or carried on throughout the year. Temporary employment: Employment that lasts for a limited period of time, usually a few months, but no longer than 12 months.

20 Migratory Streams — Current
Trainer’s Resource Materials Migratory Streams — Current Module 4 Level 1 Trainer’s Notes Tell participants that because of changes or lack of work, many migratory workers are not following the traditional migratory streams reviewed on the previous slide. Ask participants to share the demographics of their migratory population. What ethnic groups are represented? Where do their families move from? For veteran recruiters, ask if they have noticed any shifts in their demographics over the last few years and what may have caused it. Ask participants to think about why it might be important to know where their families are moving from or moving to; discuss responses. Click to the next slide. National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 21

21 Types of Qualifying Work
Trainer’s Resource Materials Types of Qualifying Work Module 4 Level 1 Temporary Seasonal Repairing a fence Trapping lobsters Feeding cattle Planting potatoes Debeaking chickens Cultivating corn Slaughtering pigs Thinning sugar beets Milking cows Detasseling corn Packaging shrimp Planting seeds for hay Canning tomatoes Trainer’s Notes Tell participants that since they have spent some time identifying where their migratory families come from, it’s time to discuss the type of work families seek. As discussed during the first activity, migratory work is either seasonal or temporary. The activities associated with each will vary by state and even by district, in some instances. Have participants review the list of activities on the screen (and in their Outline, p. 4); discuss any activities participants are unfamiliar with or have questions about. Ask participants to talk with their table groups about which column of activities is temporary and which is seasonal. Ask that they justify their responses. Click to display the correct labels for each column, and discuss if needed. Have participants label the columns in their Outline. Allow participants an additional minute or two to discuss other migratory agricultural or fisher work that may be conducted in the state and whether the work fits into the seasonal or temporary category. Click to the next slide. National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 22

22 Trainer’s Resource Materials
Temporary Employment Module 4 Level 1 Defined as employment that lasts for a limited period of time, usually a few months, but no longer than 12 months Determined in one of three ways: Employer Statement Worker Statement State Determination Trainer’s Notes Click to the next slide. Talking Points Activities at some processing plants may last long enough to border on being permanent. Make sure to follow the guidelines for determining whether an activity is considered temporary (tell participants they may want to take notes in their Outline, p. 4). Work is considered “temporary” if the employment lasts for a limited period of time, usually a few months, but not longer than 12 months. It typically includes employment where the worker states that he or she does not intend to remain in that employment indefinitely, the employer states that the worker was hired for a limited time frame, or the SEA has determined on some other reasonable basis that the employment is temporary. Recruiters may wish to contact local processing plants, growers, and any other places where migratory agricultural work may occur, and ask for a list of jobs that are temporary and seasonal at that location. Be aware that final determination of whether a job is temporary rests on the state migrant department, so if a recruiter is in doubt regarding a determination, he or she should bring it to the attention of the MEP COE reviewer or supervisor. The reviewer or supervisor may decide to send the question to the state MEP for review. National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 23

23 Trainer’s Resource Materials
Temporary Employment Module 4 Level 1 Employer Statement – The employer states that the worker was hired for a limited time frame, not to exceed 12 months Worker Statement – The worker states that he or she does not intend to remain in that employment indefinitely (i.e., the worker’s employment will not last longer than 12 months) State Determination – The SEA has determined on some other reasonable basis that the employment will not last longer than 12 months National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 24

24 Seasonal or Temporary? Get one index card per person.
Trainer’s Resource Materials Seasonal or Temporary? Module 4 Level 1 Get one index card per person. Write “seasonal” on one side; “temporary” on the other. Talk with your partner. Show your card when asked. Materials There are two options for engaging participants: Provide everyone with an index card. Have them write “Seasonal” on one side, “Temporary” on the other. Directions for this version of the activity are on the slide; OR Provide each pair with a dry-erase board, dry-erase marker, and a paper towel (for erasing). Pairs will talk quietly to determine whether the activity displayed is temporary or seasonal, write the appropriate word on the board, and show the response when the trainer asks for the boards to be held up. Trainer’s Notes This activity is intended to allow participants to determine whether a specific activity is seasonal or temporary and to promote discussion. As an option, change the activities on the slides to reflect activities in the state. Determine which materials will be used to engage participants and modify instructions accordingly.

31 Locating Migratory Families and Youth
Trainer’s Resource Materials Locating Migratory Families and Youth Module 4 Level 1 Start at your assigned question. Record as many responses as possible. Move to the next question when signaled. Materials Post three sheets of chart paper around the room. Write one of the following questions at the top of each page: Where might you find migratory families and youth? How would you communicate information about the MEP at these locations? Why is it difficult for recruiters to locate migratory families and youth? If there are more than 15 participants, another set of chart papers could be made to ensure the number of participants at each will be five or less Markers Timer Trainer’s Notes Tell participants that they will now spend time discussing how to locate migratory families and youth who move into an area for migratory work. Number the chart papers. Group participants so that no more than five participants will be at each chart paper. Assign each group to a chart paper. Have participants meet at their assigned chart paper. Tell participants that they will be given two minutes to record as many responses to the question as they can, then signal them to move to the next question. When all questions have been visited, have groups return to their original questions. Allow each group a few minutes to review the content, adding any additional ideas they may have. Allow groups to return to their seats and discussion each question. Use the next three slides to facilitate the discussion. Click to the next slide. National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 32

32 Locating Migratory Families and Youth
Trainer’s Resource Materials Locating Migratory Families and Youth Module 4 Level 1 Where might you find migratory families and youth? Trainer’s Notes Responses may include: Churches Schools Local businesses (laundromats, libraries, grocery stores, community centers) Health clinics Migratory/labor camps Adult education classes Have participants record locations that might pertain to their areas in their Outline (p. 5). Ask them to talk with their table groups about how they could identify other locations they may not be aware of and have them note these ideas for the future. Allow participants to share ideas that are discussed with the table groups. Remind participants that Module 2 addressed how to contact and establish relationships with the various organizations/locations listed. Refer participants to the Identifying Important Information Sources section in the National ID&R Manual, Chapter 4: Building a Recruitment Network for further details about the five most common information sources for locating migratory families and youth: Employers Local school staff Community contacts, organizations, and commercial establishments Other government agencies Migratory families and youth Click to the next slide. National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 33

33 Locating Migratory Families and Youth
Trainer’s Resource Materials Locating Migratory Families and Youth Module 4 Level 1 Out-of-School Youth (OSY) Unique needs Worksite recruitment Trainer’s Notes Discuss locating migratory out-of-school youth (OSY)—those young men and women who engage in migratory work for a living and are usually not enrolled in school. Where do they tend to hang out/congregate? What might you do differently to locate them? Let recruiters know that information regarding how to contact employers that might hire OSY will be shared in Level 2 of this Module. Click to the next slide. Talking Points OSY have unique needs resulting from their migratory lifestyle. Finding and recruiting many OSY who travel without their families or in groups of OSY can be especially challenging. The traditional in-school recruitment model is not feasible because this population has no contact with the school district. Recruitment of OSY is most successful when it occurs at worksites, in the field, and at businesses where these youth work, as well as in housing where they live. Fortunately, providing services to OSY can be very rewarding. OSY need advocates: people who can both motivate them and help them access needed services. Young people not in school have little or no access to federal or state resources. National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 34

34 Locating Migratory Families and Youth
Trainer’s Resource Materials Locating Migratory Families and Youth Module 4 Level 1 How would you communicate information about the MEP at these locations? Trainer’s Notes Encourage participants to discuss the pros and cons of each method listed. Allow time for participants to record the methods they would like to remember in their Outline (p. 5). If the State has brochures, sample employer letters, or sample school and/or employer surveys, then take time to make participants aware of these resources and how to obtain them. If the state does not have samples, then let participants know that samples can be found in the National ID&R Manual, Appendix III: Sample Surveys and Appendix IV: Sample Brochures. Click to the next slide. Discussion Points Posting MEP flyers Leaving MEP brochures for families to take Scheduling a time to set up a table to distribute information Contacting the business/location to determine best days/times to find migratory workers Leaving information in the native language of the migratory families in the area. National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 35

35 Locating Migratory Families and Youth
Trainer’s Resource Materials Locating Migratory Families and Youth Module 4 Level 1 Why is it difficult for recruiters to locate migratory families and youth? Trainer’s Notes Allow for discussion of each response and brainstorm what a recruiter might be able to do to overcome these obstacles. Remind participants to record notes from this discussion in their Outline (p. 5). Click to the next slide. Discussion Points It is time-consuming and labor-intensive work. Families and youth are often isolated from the general public and populated areas. It takes time to build relationships and gain trust with families and service providers. Recruiters may need to learn how and when to approach community organizations. Recruiters need to keep track of migratory streams, employment, and housing patterns that change over time. National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 36

36 Trainer’s Resource Materials
Wrap-Up Module 4 Level 1 “To find local migratory farm workers, I follow the port-a- john trucks to the fields and post flyers about the program on the inside of the doors.” Trainer’s Notes Have participants think about what the goal of recruiting is: finding and identifying migratory families. Click to display the quote; allow participants time to read it. Ask participants to think about the following: How does this quote relate to what they learned today? Click to the next slide.

All resources given during the training may be used during the assessment. Click to the next slide. National ID&R Curriculum, Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, V 3.0 38

38 One Thing, Just One Thing
Trainer’s Resource Materials One Thing, Just One Thing Module 4 Level 1 Think about everything we learned today. What’s the one main point you would like other MEP recruiters to know? Trainer’s Notes Allow participants a few minutes to reflect on the content from today’s session and record in their Outline (p. 5) one main point they want to remember from the training and the one point they would want MEP recruiters to know.
