Integration of immigrants students

Guideline for Teachers

2. Search resources

National and international resources can inform you on existing programs or help you find ideas and methods.

There are national platforms to promote and support immigrant student integration and immigrant student support. These are connected with local authorities who may help you find resources for the classroom.
Check also the availability of specific immigrant student programmes in municipalities and schools that you may recommend the students/parents to.
Work in partnership with associations (who can act as mediators with families).
Collaborate with community services or street social workers who can act immediately when young people need it.
Check some tools for managing diversity in the classroom.
Check the Migration Integration Policy Index (MIPEX - http://www.mipex.eu) in your country and act accordingly.
