This also provides educators at every level but mostly secondary educators information that can be used to advocate for their students and how services that can be useful to those students.
 I found that this book offered the law information in plain accessible language with ligament suggestions on resources that schools can assess, or direct families to, for advocacy and other support that they might need. I also found sections that the author clears up common misconceptions and provides useful information on the specific challenges, dangers and benefits of each noncitizen category and the impact on students. ]]> 2022-08-07 17:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256181674 https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256183771 This book addresses a major instructional and pricy concern in public education. As a resource it gives ideas an insight of how to best utilize it to develop strong instruction program for a culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) student population. In this secondo addition of the book you will find that there is more attention to the populations that have increased in U.S. schools, such as immigrant refugees from around the globe. 
I found that the support teachers study groups, particularly the guided discussion question where the most useful because it places you as the teach in real-life situations where you will have to rephrase or ask question more carefully with your students because of there cultural background. ]]> 2022-08-07 17:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256183771 https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256186557 This article goes over the immigration policy and the public opinion regarding immigrants, refugees, and undocumented aliens. This article shows the direct effect that they have on Southeast Asian refugees. 
I particularly found this article as strictly informational just found it interesting to see the public opinion on these policies and how they were being carried out and the effect on the family dynamic that it has on immigrants. ]]> 2022-08-07 17:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256186557 https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256190204 This article looks at the approaches of how a public high school applies holistic wrap-around services to refugee, and immigrant students. By not isolating students of the larger contest of their families and communities, the school's approaches allow for grater overlap between school and home life. 
I found that this article gives examples of the international practices that school engage within classrooms and this results in a greater support for the socio-emotional, academic and material needed for students. the examples of this flexible design of curricula and support structures just shows how engagement strategies can meant the need of immigrants and refugee students. ]]> 2022-08-07 18:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256190204 https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256193971 On this website, it goes over the history of early middle eastern immigrants that have populated Utah. As readign the website, you become aware of how long this culture has been a part of society but it is rearly though in Utah education. This I find very disappointing because with growing up in Utah I rarely learned about different cultures other than my own and even then it was not very in-depth because of the controversy that was attached to the middle eastern culture. ]]> 2022-08-07 18:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256193971 https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256201869 With this multimedia website that offers all sorts of resources ranging from videos', articles, and other media on the holocausts. with this resource you as a teach will have more then enough resources to show and explain the pain of the holocausts and how people became refugees after and during the holocausts timeline.

On this website there is contact information for Christelle Estrada an Education Specialist: Title III/Immigrant/Refugee Support Student Advocacy Services Federal Programs (ESSA).

Students will understand the paths that refugees have to safely take and they what they experience in the journey of coming from their home country to a new country. Student s will also use technology to analyze issues related to migration/refugees. 
I would use this lesson to help students understand the hard ships that refugees endure as well as help student make connections of refugees and education. How being a refugee you don't have access to adequate education and the impact that can have on their future. ]]> 2022-08-07 19:12:44 UTC https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256209622 https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256211584 On this website, there are many secondary lesson plans that are liked by refugees and immigrants. This lesson plans reange from experiencing the journey that refugees endure to understanding the right and regulations that the U.S. has on refugees and immigrants. When reading through these lesson plans I found many that were able to be adjusted to many subjects in education so this is a great resource to make your own lesson plan or use one that is linked to this website. ]]> 2022-08-07 19:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256211584 christopherstrate https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256215615 This article specifically uses Burmese parents and child refugees as the reference points for the paper. The Paper follows the lives and experiences of refugee families from before they left their homeland and after they have moved. Most refugee parents are unsure how to advocate for their children and had different access to education. I think this is likely one of the most vital things for an elementary teacher to realize. It also acknowledges the impacts of early childhood experiences and points out the need for teachers to intervene to help make their experiences better. It also compares the experience of voluntary immigrants, and involuntary immigrants (refugees) and explains that a major difference is the enthusiasm to join and conform to new societies, which can affect educational experiences as well. The article concluded that these families view schools as a safe place and that teachers should enforce this notion, as well as attempt to provide as much educational material for the families as well. I agree with this, as it is important for these children to have access to as much help and education in their early life as possible, sometimes they will face great pressure, Whether from the world around them or their parents. I think it is certainly a responsibility for a teacher to provide materials to the children's parents as well as engage in conversation about their children's education with them. I agree with the information in this article, and see it as a very important article for elementary teachers with refugee students to read. ]]> 2022-08-07 19:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256215615 christopherstrate https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256231672 This article focuses on immigrant parent attitudes and teacher-parent cooperation. It points out that some parents' attitudes though well-meaning for their children's education are not directly involved in assisting their children with education, but rather only behavioral and cultural education. I think this does make some sense, and I understand the parent's perspective. I also agree with the conclusion of the article that the most important thing (it seems a recurring thing in most of these papers) is that most teachers need to be open with these parents, patient, and willing to explain the needs of the students so that the parents might assist them properly. ]]> 2022-08-07 21:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256231672 christopherstrate https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256239704 This is a story of refugees/ immigrants and some of the hardships some of them might face. Though I think some of the portrayals in here might be a bit overboard without guidance, I think it is important for students to see stories such as these. It should allow them to empathize with immigrant peers, and possibly help them understand some of the struggles and fears those other students have. ]]> 2022-08-07 21:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256239704 christopherstrate https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256241069 This book should be a great point for students to better understand the struggles and experiences of refugees fleeing conflict in their own countries.

It explains with lots of detail the history of immigration in America. This would be great to take a few days to read but would be totally worth the things they would learn. I love that this book focuses on history and some hard. but necessary truths. I think it also teaches tolerance. Which is a great thing to teach

It is heartbreaking as it shows a mother separated from her family. She was taken to prison because she did not have the right immigration papers. It shares a story about the daughter missing her mother and standing up to tell her story in hopes to get her mother back. Kids will love this story and learn so much

I like that it has first-hand accounts of young people, young people that could share the same stories as their students. Having teachers read this story will give them insight they couldn't find anywhere else. Though they may never relate to their immigrant or refugee students, they could try to understand them.

I would say this book is aimed towards older students in 11th or 12th grade. It gives students a perspective that many of them have never had.

The three narrators of the book will help students understand the differences and similarities in the struggles immigrants may face as they come to America. This gives chances for students more chances to relate or connect with a character giving them a more meaningful reading experience. By connecting to one or more of these teens stories, students are more likely to become empathetic towards the hardships immigrants face on the journey to create a better life. I believe this book will aide students in creating powerful discussions, projects, and papers while also helping me as an educator make my classroom a safe place for all students. ]]> 2022-08-08 00:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256271014 https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256274192 This group is all about helping those with a refugee background.

On top of normal teenage fears the main character is aware of the possibility of being deported. Because the main character is in middle school many of the students in a middle school class will find her relatable. This will keep students engaged in reading and give them the chance to understand a perspective they may not have previously. Giving this book to middle school students would mean that I probably wouldn't get into the very deep issues of immigration but it helps give students an introduction and opens the door for communication on the topic. ]]> 2022-08-08 00:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256276847 https://padlet.com/morgansenaya/xuq5ifk6odbi75w9/wish/2256277419 This is a great site that specializes in education for those Refugees who feel lost.
