Description

In the current political climate of the U.S., newcomer immigrant and refugee students seeking an education and a better life for themselves face their most uncertain future yet. Particularly, English learners who have experienced interrupted or limited schooling in their home country and language face challenges in adjusting to a new environment. They deserve differentiated support to succeed both in school and in their new communities. What sets this book apart are the student stories which shed light on the significant resilience they exhibit despite many obstacles faced during all stages of migration. This includes immigration hurdles, housing instability, negative stereotyping and, for some students, the difficult experience of crossing the border as an unaccompanied minor. In Creating Responsive Classroom Communities for Newcomers, readers will hear from educators, counselors and students in a study of 4 high schools across New York State. They will learn what is being done to develop classrooms and schools that can be culturally and linguistically responsive to the needs of diverse newcomer students with interrupted schooling. The book shares observations and details of a SIFE-centered English Language Arts curriculum developed with these students' needs in mind, including best practices in both academic instruction and in cultivating a welcoming classroom culture that builds upon student strengths and background knowledge. Readers will come away with a deeper understanding not only of the challenges these students face but also ideas for strategies to better serve them by transforming and improving their own school communities.

Reviews
Every day immigrant adolescents with developing literacy in their home languages sit silently and passively in high school classrooms. In this book, Auslander brings them into full view, as she shares their lives and traumas, as well as the ways in which educators in four schools implemented a curriculum and developed strategies to fully engage them as active learners. -- Ofelia Garcia, The Graduate Center, City University of New York
At a time when much of the national discourse criminalizes immigrants and when policies ban them from entering the US, Lisa Auslander's book humanizes the migration experiences of youth who have risked so much just to survive. She shows how schools can take a collaborative approach with administrators, teachers, counselors and community organizations to support the socio-emotional well-being and academic growth of newcomer students, and help them thrive in their new nation. Holistically educating immigrant secondary students who are also new to English and to school-based literacy practices is not easy, but it is an imperative for US schools and Lisa Auslander shows us ways to do just that! -- Tatyana Kleyn, The City College of New York

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
