Partnering with School Support Personnel
CUNY-IIE is looking to partner with New York State school support personnel who work with early childhood and elementary school students and their families.
The goal is to collaboratively develop a resource guide for schools working with immigrant-origin students and their families.
We are seeking school-based personnel who have demonstrated commitment to working with immigrant-origin students and families, including:
Parent coordinators
School psychologists
Social workers
School counselors
Early childhood center administrators
Office personnel
Librarians
At this time, we are not seeking classroom teachers, as the resource guide will be specifically designed to support school support personnel in roles that provide student, family, and community support beyond classroom instruction.
Registration for this project is now closed. Please check back for updates in Spring 2027.
If you have questions, please reach out to:
Ivana Espinet, Associate Investigator (ivana.espinet@kbcc.cuny.edu)
