Inhaltsangabe

Teachers and school administrators in American public schools are working hard to find ways to host the children of immigrants and newly arriving ethnic minorities. In Hosting Newcomers: Structuring Educational Opportunities for Immigrant Children, Robert Dentler and Anne Hafner offer practical solutions to help schools improve both the quality of learning opportunities and the well-being of these newcomers. Drawing from a sociological study of 11 metropolitan school districts, the authors provide case examples highlighting successful and unsuccessful practices, demonstrating both avoidance errors and effective, cost-efficient ways for school boards, superintendents, and other educational leaders to dramatically improve the education of ethnic and language minority children.
This book will be an excellent supplemental text in courses in educational foundations, sociology of education, multicultural education, bilingual education, and educational planning. Its insightful and informative coverage of this timely topic make it vitally important reading for educational policy makers; state, district, and school administrators; and educational researchers in sociology, public policy and administration, school effectiveness, cultural diversity, and second language acquisition.
