Overview
User-Friendly Schools for Latinos: A Model for All Immigrants is a valuable resource for any educator interested in reaching Latino students. Ricken and Terc explore numerous ways to aid staff in viewing immigrants as an educational challenge rather than a problem and creating action programs that reach out to immigrants, who are often hesitant about interacting with teachers. This book also includes techniques to assist children prior to their arrival in school, ideas to meet the needs of working families and those unfamiliar with the English language, and methods to reduce bias in the school and community. Although aimed at Latino communities, User-Friendly Schools for Latinos addresses the needs of all ethnic minorities, with universal activities that will provide quality educational experiences for children, parents, and teachers.About the Author:
