description: Teachers and school administrators in American public schools are working hard to find ways to host the children of immigrants and newly arriving ethnic minorities. With this book, Robert Dentler and Anne Hafner offer practical solutions of how schools can help improve the quality of learning opportunities and the well-being of these newcomers. Drawing from a sociological study of 11 metropolitan school districts, the authors provide case examples highlighting successful and unsuccessful practices, demonstrating both avoidable errors and effective, cost-efficient ways for school boards, superintendents, and other educational leaders to dramatically improve the education of ethnic and language minority children.
