SUMMARY:Program for educators
DESCRIPTION:This course\, free and open to educators throughout New York State\, will explore the complexities of immigration and give participants time to reflect on existing practices and identify ways to strengthen supports for immigrant students and families. Participants will explore ways to create a safe and welcoming environment\, and to support immigrant students academically\, linguistically and socio-emotionally. Registration closes May 1. \nOn three consecutive Thursdays there will be hands-on opportunities to learn about historical and current immigration events and policies and their impact on schools. The module includes a 1-hour assignment prior to the start of the course (found at the end of this registration form)\, 7.5 mandatory hours of synchronous sessions\, and an additional 6.5 hours of asynchronous small group and independent work. \nInstructor: Aminata Diop\, Ph.D. is chief of staff and director of administrative services at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine. She holds a Ph.D. in Urban Education at the CUNY Graduate Center. Her research addresses the culture\, language\, and social identity of immigrant youth. \nHer dissertation focused on immigrant students from African descent\, transnational mothering\, and integration experiences of transnationalized children to illuminate how the increase of the immigrant population in the U.S. complicates dominant ideologies of nationalism and mainstream perceptions of normal family structures. \n
