Recent immigrants and refugees — both children and their families — often struggle to adapt to Canadian education systems. For their part, educators also face challenges when developing effective strategies to help these students make smooth transitions to their new country.

<p /><i>Immigrant and Refugee Students in Canada</i>, researchers join educators and social workers to provide a thorough and wide-ranging analysis of the issues at the preschool, elementary, secondary and post-secondary levels. By understanding these issues within the unique Canadian context, educators can work more effectively with newcomers trying to find their way.

<p />This book pursues three lines of inquiry:

<ul>

<li>What are the main challenges that immigrant and refugee children and families face in the Canadian education system?</li>

<li>What are the common aspects of successful intervention?</li>

<li>What can we learn from the narratives of researchers, educators, social workers, and other frontline workers who work with immigrant and refugee families?</li></ul>
