SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:Newcomer Institute: Developing and Strengthening Programs and Services for Newcomers
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, at all points in the school year\, immigrant students enroll in California schools as new immigrants. These newly arrived students from other nations face a particular set of unique needs. This workshop\, designed for site administrators\, begins with an overview of who these newcomers are\, and their needs: cultural orientation and dealing with culture shock\, impacts of the immigration experience\, basic survival English\, overcoming gaps or differences in prior schooling\, developing a pathway to high school graduation. Examples of how schools have responded effectively to these needs will include structuring newcomer programs\, assessing foreign transcripts and language/academic status\, supporting the socioemotional needs of newcomer students\, accommodating new enrollment throughout the school year\, approaches to extending school time\, and supporting classroom teachers to embrace and serve newcomers. The institute will provide templates and guidance in shaping inquiries into your own newcomer population\, and will acquaint participants with resources such as the U.S. Department of Education Newcomer Toolkit for developing and strengthening programs and services.&nbsp\;Click HERE for the flyer.
