Preferred term

immigrant populations and teacher preparation for diversity  

Definition

  • Although formal schooling in the United States has contended with immigrant populations since the 19th century, recent waves of immigrants have both significantly altered the number and characteristics of new immigrant children in contemporary classrooms. Conservative estimates place the number of immigrant children in classrooms at one in every five students.
