Promoting Secondary School Transitions for Immigrant Adolescents.

Lucas, Tamara

High School Magazine, v6 n4 p40-41 Jan-Feb 1999

Educators can help adolescent immigrants by providing access to information, supporting English language and academic development (via newcomer schools and sheltered English content programs), and promoting access to postsecondary education.
