Date & Time: Thursday, June 6th at 2 pm ET
Newcomer students—those born outside the U.S. and who have recently arrived in the country—come from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures and educational settings, and often speak different languages. These students bring with them a wealth of experiences and perspectives that can enrich our communities if we create spaces for them to thrive.
In this 20-minute DA Ed Talk, two bilingual education experts will outline some practical, evidence-based strategies for building inclusive, supportive learning environments where these students will succeed academically and socially in schools.
Topics will include:
- The most common characteristics of newcomer students
- Trends and challenges in the newcomer student landscape
- Practical strategies to support newcomers academically and socially
