ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this podcast, we have a conversation with Dr. Elaine Harper about the experiences of migrant, immigrant, and refugee students in the United States. We have a discussion about the traumatizing experiences that some refugee learners may have and how this trauma may show up in the classroom.
- Trauma affects cognition, emotional intelligence, and behaviors of young people who experience it.
- Immigrant, migrant, and refugee learners may experience traumas such as grief, loss, violence, and separation.
- What are some basic demographics of students who are migrant, immigrants, and refugees in America? Who are these students?
- How can educators and school leaders incorporate SEL/healing-based practices to support students who’ve experienced trauma, particularly students who are immigrant or refugee learners?
