CABE 2018

Immigrant students who arrive in the U.S. during their middle and high school years face daunting hurdles as they juggle learning a new language and culture while also trying to quickly close knowledge gaps and get on track to graduate high school. This panel will explore how school districts are honing their approaches to help newcomer students meet the challenges they face--including developing processes to identify students’ academic and socioemotional needs, connecting them with mental-health and legal supports, and tailoring curricular pathways in ways that balance student needs with policy constraints.
