Harvard EdCast: Schools and Immigrant Students

By 2040, more than 30 percent of students in the United States will be immigrants or the children of immigrants.  In Portraits of Promise, from Harvard Education Press, author Michael Sadowski, Ed.M.'95, Ed.D.'05, explores what and who in schools can help these students achieve success, through the stories of the ultimate experts — successful newcomer students themselves.

In this edition of the EdCast, Sadowski discusses his book and shares insight into the perspective and voices of successful immigrant students from across the country.
