Teaching America’s Past to Our Newest Americans: Immigrant Students and United States History


My colleague Kerry Dunne (Arlington Public Schools/Brandeis University) and I have an article titled "Teaching America’s Past to Our Newest Americans: Immigrant Students and United States History" featured in this month's Social Education. It discusses the barriers in teaching U.S. history to immigrant students and ways to overcome them.

Here is the abstract: Studying American history is a struggle for even the most diligent, high-achieving immigrant student. The strategies outlined here will make U.S. history more accessible for English language learners.
