Welcome Educational Administrators

You're responsible for the academic, civic, and social-emotional needs of every student in your buildings — including the immigrant-origin youth who are often the fastest-growing, least-supported part of your community. We help you meet that responsibility by building belonging into the infrastructure you already run: classrooms, professional learning, and school culture.

Together, we:

  • Help educators understand and support immigrant-origin youth
  • Create bridging opportunities for students to learn across difference
  • Build professional learning that connects migration to the academic and civic goals you already have

OUR MODEL

When a school community changes, that's an opening, not just a challenge. Our model helps you use that moment to strengthen the foundation — academic, civic, and social-emotional — for every student, not only the ones migration touches directly. Our approach is grounded in the Re-Imagining Migration framework, developed by Veronica Boix-Mansilla at the Project Zero at the Harvard Graduate School of Education with Carola and Marcelo Suárez-Orozco, Adam Strom and the Re-Imagining Migration team.

If you are interested in bringing Re-Imagining Migration to your community, school, or cultural institution, reach out.

A Whole School Approach

The Re-Imagining Migration Framework identifies key academic, civic, & social mindsets for creating a world on the move.

2

Inquire about human migration with care and nuance.

3

Communicate & build relationships across differences.

4

Recognize power & inequities in human experience and migration.

5

Take action to foster inclusive and sustainable societies.

Our work begins with the recognition that belonging is at the heart of successful learning. Therefore, building relationships between school faculty, students, and their families is foundational to the life of a school. All educators and school staff, regardless of the subjects they teach or their role in the building, need to understand the students they serve, including the assets they bring into the classroom as well as the challenges and obstacles they face.

Positive school cultures are enhanced through curriculum and teaching methods. Our research-based approach highlights essential academic, social-emotional, and civic skills and dispositions that prepare young people for an ever-evolving world. To cultivate lifelong learning, we offer adaptable teaching tools designed to be used in a wide range of learning environments. These tools are integrated into instruction to foster engagement, academic rigor, and prioritize student voice. Furthermore, our approach involves a reimagining of the curriculum to ensure that students see themselves in lessons and are encouraged to make connections between what they are learning and their own lives. One way we do that is by providing academic resources and teacher support to deepen understanding of migration. Migration is not just a subject in our model; it serves as a perspective through which students explore various academic disciplines.

Beyond the curriculum or any individual classroom, we share best practices for school teams to adapt that focus on creating inclusive school climates that are designed to ensure that all students can thrive. Using observation tools and climate surveys, school teams use the Re-Imagining Migration framework to craft action plans addressing identified challenges and building on successful practices.

Finally, our comprehensive approach urges schools to reconsider educator professional development to foster the necessary mindset shifts and skill development required to effectively support Immigrant-Origin learners and their peers.
