"Describe the kinds of teaching strategies that would benefit everyone in the classroom."
There are ways to educate your immigrant students that benefits everyone. You can do projects that allows them to utilize their past experiences as well as their interests. You can offer them a chance to tell their stories through journals as well as narratives and group interviews. You can learn some vocabulary from their native language so that you can try to communicate with them in their language and show them that you value them and their culture. (Agirdag,2009) You can use the students’ peers to further assist them in recognizing their surroundings and acclimating to their environment. Involve parents and extended family members in discussions of educational programs that can help the student. You can seek a translator or transcribed materials to inform families of their rights as well. “…all undocumented students have the same right as U.S. citizens to attend public schools.” Plyler v. Doe (1982)
