I work with a talented group of recent immigrant students in an urban school district. Our school serves the needs of English language learners in a program that emphasizes simultaneous content-area learning and language acquisition through collaborative, hands-on projects. Every teacher in the school is responsible for helping these young people grow and become comfortable in the language of their adopted country, and our diversity ensures a rich and interesting learning environment. Our students arrive from some of the world's most troubled regions, and often have had little prior access to education. We strive to bring each of them up to state standards for on-time graduation, meeting the same requirements faced by their native-born peers.
