1. Get information on the problem

Forward

Teachers should first be informed about the general problems immigrant students might encounter, and what existing (internal and external) services or programs can be implemented to help them.

  1. Identify the multiple barriers immigrant child might feel at school and understand your own barriers to their full integration.
  2. Learn about appropriate educational support for immigrant children at your school and in your region. Get acquainted with school support systems.
  3. Check if your school has a home/school/community liaison coordinator within the school. He/She may facilitate contact of immigrant children and parents with the school.
  4. Find out about the services for immigrant children who attend school (such as transition classes in Belgium) or homework support services.
  5. Find out about how immigrant children can have their previous learning acknowledged by the school system (for example: diploma recognition).
  6. Find out about extra classes immigrant children may attend in school to improve their language and other skills in order to integrate better into the school level they are attending.
