Summary

Using the lens of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) a pedagogy that recognizes the importance of including students' cultural references in all aspects of learning (Ladson-Billings, 1994), this book presents empirical studies and personal stories, examples across immigrant and refugee experiences including African, Asian and Latin immigrants. The chapters focus on the educational wellbeing of immigrant children and their families, and on bringing the home, school and community together as a united force to meet their needs.
