Our work with educators is grounded in the Re-imagining Migration framework and mission to ensure that young people grow up understanding migration as a shared condition of our past, present, and future to develop the knowledge, empathy, and mindsets that sustain inclusive and welcoming communities. Five core elements inform all of our work
Understanding of immigrant-origin students and their peers.
Theories of learning and pedagogy for a world on the move.
Understaning of migration as a shared human story that must be understood by all learners.
Research on inclusive learning environments
Educators’ personal, professional, and civic identities
Re-imagining Migration “has reinvigorated me as a teacher, inspired me as
a researcher, and encouraged me as an advocate and ally.”
— Participant, Re-imagining Migration Seminar
Among the services we provide to educational institutions are the following:
Opportunities Assesments
Re-imagining Migration faculty work collaboratively to identify opportunities to better serve immigrant-origin students, engage their families, and develop learning opportunities about migration for staff, students, and the educational community as a whole.
Customized Professional Development
After assessing the opportunities, strengths, and needs of educational institutions we develop customized professional development plans, workshops, and presentations for schools, districts, and educational institutions. We can lead or assist in the development and facilitation of Professional Learning Communities (PLC).
Curriculum Development
Each year we take on a limited number of curriculum development projects for work in schools, after schools, and for community organizations, and in support of media, museum, or library partnerships. Recent projects have been produced with the American Jewish Historical Society, the Covenant Foundation, the Indiana State Historical Library, and the Salem Public Schools.
Community Events and Public Speaking
Re-imagining Migration staff are available to give academic, community, and student presentations on a select basis.
