About the Video Series
CUNY-IIE has worked together with educators and community members to create professional development modules around the Supporting Immigrants in Schools Video Series videos: Key Immigration Issues, Immigration in Elementary Schools, Immigration in Secondary Schools, and Refugees and Immigrants in Schools.
Each module features a set of activities and guides to help educators learn, act, and advocate in the classroom.

This professional development module provides hands-on opportunities for all school personnel to learn about historical and current immigration issues, and how they impact their school community. Stakeholders will explore ways to create a safe and welcoming environment, and to support immigrant students academically, linguistically and socio-emotionally.
