“This wide diversity of backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences [of immigrant students] requires educators to acquire skills in avoiding stereotypes, recognizing individual and cultural differences, and developing cross-cultural communication. Many areas of K-12 education that relate to immigrant students are already well-developed fields of educational research and practice: English as a second language, bilingual education, and migrant education. Programs in these areas may already be available in school districts with significant immigrant or migrant student populations. Districts in need of developing such programs are directed to the broad literature and resources in these fields. This section of the guide has a more general purpose: – To provide teaching strategies and techniques for working with immigrant students within the context of the regular classroom – To provide suggestions for enriching the educational experience of all students so today’s children grow into adults who are respectful and understanding participants in a multicultural society.” – Publisher’s description CONTENTS Overall Strategies Specific Strategies Self-Report Card – Teacher Self-Report Card – Administrator
