On-Demand Virtual Training
School districts across the country are welcoming a growing number of newcomer students, and educators are being asked to adapt whether or not this is a new trend for their community.
During this training session, immigration experts and educators provided an overview of the current immigration landscape and offered practical tools and strategies to foster a sense of belonging for immigrant students and their families.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn about current immigration trends
- Explore the positive contributions immigrant students bring to schools and communities
