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.

<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>
