Immigrant and Refugee Students: An Equity Centered Approach

Immigrant and Refugee Students: An Equity Centered Approach

Led by Seema Pothini, President of the Minnesota Chapter of the National Association for Multicultural Education.

The key to strengthening equity efforts for immigrant and refugee-status students is understanding the challenges and barriers with which they contend both in and out of schools.

Participants Will:

• Examine these barriers and how educators can remove them.
• Learn how to recognize even subtle forms of bias and inequity bias immigrant and refugee-status students experience in relation to a variety of intersecting identities including race, ethnicity, culture, language, and socioeconomic status.
• Discuss policies and practices that support equity and engagement.
