NSTU and YMCA partnered and worked with newcomer youth to create a video. They have also developed teaching tools to complement the video found on this Google Site. This would make for great professional learning for you to deliver to your schools. The site contains an important video about newcomer students experience, called "I wish my teacher knew". The video contains students testimonials about their experience, and what they wished their teachers knew to help them better navigate school. The site contains not only the video, but also resource materials to go with it. They can be used as a professional learning opportunity. The target audience for the video are the teachers and not the students. The video's purpose is to increase awareness among teachers, administrators, and other professional staff about the experiences of newcomer students and how to better support them. It is an amazing resource!
