How Do We Support Immigrant Students?

Immigrants often play a small part in the discussion about closing equity gaps in education but they are an essential part of our community. In Washington, immigrants make up approximately 13.7% of the state population [American Immigrant Council, “Immigrants in Washington,” 2017]. At this roundtable, I want to invite a conversation about practices that we can implement as math instructors to support immigrant students. I will share my own story as an immigrant student to serve as a background story.
