Teachers and Immigrant Youth: Expanding and Complicating the Social Context of Migration in Teachers’ Classroom Work

Fri, April 4, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Marriott, Floor: Fourth Level, 404

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session focuses sharply on the possibilities and constraints embedded in teachers’ roles working within local immigrant contexts, ranging from New York, California, Hawai’i, and the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S. At a time when teachers’ work with immigrant youth is narrowed by the “English learner” frame, the papers in this session contribute to thinking about the roles of teachers above and beyond the current policy focus on language, acknowledging the social context of migration present in teachers’ work.
