Discover effective, new ways of teaching immigrant-origin students in your classroom

In A World on the Move, Ver nica Boix-Mansilla and Adam Strom introduces Re-Imagining Migration's incisive and practical approach for supporting immigrant-origin students and families in the contemporary classroom.

They present research-based, practice-informed, and actionable techniques you can apply in your classroom for immediate results. They include:

• Strategies for teaching the history of immigration to help your students better understand current events and rhetoric
• Ways to communicate across difference to foster inclusive, sustainable classrooms
• Methods for recognizing and addressing the inequities in human experience and migration to help create a safe classroom environment

An indispensable handbook for professionals working with K-12 immigrant-origin children and youth, A World on the Move will earn a prominent place in the libraries of teachers, teachers-in-training, school and district leaders, family liaisons, and curriculum developers.
