Course Description: This online course explores the relationship between immigration and education at the local, national, and global levels. It is designed for students in the UNCW Ed.D. program and educational leaders in Southeastern NC. This course addresses four interconnected strands. These four strands have corresponding questions that will guide inquiry during this course. These questions, and the course alignment with these strands, are detailed below:

Comparative – How do immigrants’ schooling performance vary with different socializations and adaptive strategies across nations, regions, race/ethnicity, waves of immigration, and SES?
Pedagogical – What are the effective strategies for improving the education of immigrant students and expanding the interactions between immigrant families, communities, and schools?
Contextualized - How do economic, political, social, linguistic, and cultural factors relevant to immigration intersect with education at the micro (individual and family) and macro (community, state, nation, and world) levels?
Autobiographical – How do participants’ lived experiences intersect with - and influence their perceptions of - immigration, immigrant students, and education?
