Synopsis

As newcomers—immigrant students who have been in the U.S. less than two years—arrive in record numbers, many school districts are looking for ways to best support these new arrivals. Serving the Academic, Social, and Emotional Needs of Multicultural Newcomers offers a research-based overview of newcomer students across the nation and provides specific strategies for helping them integrate into U.S. schools in a variety of settings (ESL, bilingual, mainstream/content classrooms). In addition to a brief overview of how newcomer programs can provide academic and social-emotional services for recently arrived English learners, the authors draw on their experience to offer five best practices for serving newcomers. Readers will learn how to: * Collaborate with school professionals to create a program specifically to meet the unique needs of new arrivals. * Provide intensive literacy, numeracy, and content area support, especially for students with interrupted schooling. * Develop the classroom supports necessary for students to achieve academic success. * Provide supports that address the physical, social, and emotional challenges of newcomers. * Work with families and communities to support students outside of a school environment. With reflective questions at the end of each chapter, this book is designed to be used as a textbook with study groups or as a self-study resource for professional development.
