SUMMARY:Program for educators
DESCRIPTION:This course\, free and open to educators throughout New York State\, will help educators explore and identify what advocacy can look like in schools and classrooms\, learn ways to help immigrant access college and career resources\, and understand how to empower immigrant youth in and out of school. Registration closes May 1. \nThe class will meet three consecutive Tuesdays and 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. \nIn a political climate that threatens immigrant communities\, this course will provide opportunities for secondary educators to discuss key issues and find ways to connect with community members in order to identify the concrete actions they can take to support students and families. \nInstructor: Sunisa Nuonsy is a graduate of  public schools and has been teaching 11th and 12th grade English Language Arts at the International High School in Brooklyn for nine years. She is also an ambassador with CUNY’s Initiative on Emergent Bilinguals. \nBorn in a refugee camp in Thailand to Lao parents\, she and her family were resettled in upstate New York following the Vietnam War just after she turned one. Her interest in language\, particularly “translanguaging” and home languages\, has led her to the Graduate Center at CUNY\, where she hopes to contribute years of progressive\, critical\, and transformative educational experiences to the project.
