Abstract

The purpose of this ethnographic study is to explore how the policies and practices at Maverick High School create, or impede, their students’ opportunities to succeed as immigrants in a new country. Understanding of the cultural and pedagogical practices in a school that consistently reports positive outcomes for high need immigrant students can help shed needed light on the schooling practices that increase equity and opportunity for these students.
