The Newcomer Student: An Educator's Guide to Aid Transitions de Louise H. Kreuzer

The Newcomer Student: An Educator's Guide to Aid Transitions

Autor Louise H. Kreuzer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 apr 2016
More than 50 million individuals will be forcibly displaced from their homes this year. Many will be resettled into other countries or cultures, including the United States. With specific regard to education, a growing sector of ELA instruction now caters to the unique needs of refugee and immigrant students. These "Newcomer" learners, as they are resettled into Westernized regions, require a tailored brand of education. The Newcomer Student is a field guide from the trenches. It is the product of one educational specialist's experiences, observations, and research in the Newcomer ELA field. It is a tale of personal participation, linking grassroots to modern progressive protocol, a story of cultural exploration, stemming from Louise's refugee teaching experiences, and an ongoing search to discover interpersonal peace and humanistic continuity.

Recenzii

I found this resource offers information and strategies for methodically teaching, supporting and strengthening positive behaviour in the classroom. Hands-on ideas for evolving positive relations, establishing classroom etiquette, setting behavioural expectations, providing explicit instruction in social skills and setting fair consequences are applicable when supporting the newcomer student (and, importantly, his/her family) who may not yet be familiar with classroom expectations.
The Newcomer Student deeply honors the talents and skills of refugee children and their families and also the teachers who are key to their success. Each detail of The Newcomer Student, such as chapter epigraphs in the languages of new arrivals, reveals Louise Kreuzer's student focus. I loved this book for its deep research, but also for Louise Kreuzer's heart as an ambassador for students as they find their voices in their new language and culture.
The Newcomer Student offers an insightful exploration into the incredible challenges of refugee and immigrant students and families. From the process that brings them to our country, coupled with their fears and daily challenges, to instructional specifics on how to help both parent and child integrate as strong contributing members of a new society, Louise Kreuzer's book inspires your compassion and stimulates new thinking.

This is a must-read, not only for aspiring and practicing educators at all levels, but also for anyone who wishes to enhance their understandings, thoughtful reflection, and ability to meaningfully interface with this population. As a seasoned educator who has worked with many non-English speaking families, I wish that I had had access to such a comprehensive scope of information and insights long ago!
