[WSCSS] Educating about Immigration

[Linser, Will (William D)]

The Constitutional Rights Foundation presents a new free resource for
teachers...

 

Educating about Immigration is a rich, interactive web-based educational
resource

which provides classroom lessons, historical perspective, and current
information

about this important topic to students and teachers nationwide. The
United States

currently has the largest number of people born in another country in
over 80 years. It is

important for young people to know about the contributions of
immigrants, the history of

immigration, and about the issues being considered on a national level.
Educating About

Immigration allows students to form their own educated opinions and
exert their voices

as young citizens.

 

The website contains  24 lesson plans for teachers to bring balanced and
thought-provoking discussions

to the classroom, as well as professional development sessions designed
to show how to effectively

use the resources on the site and hands-on demonstrations of the
available lessons and features.
