Educating Latino Immigrant Students in the Twenty-First Century: Principles for the Obama Administration

Abstract

In this essay, Carola Suárez-Orozco and Marcelo Suárez-Orozco address one of the most critical challenges facing President Obama's administration: meeting the educational needs of Latino and other immigrant children in the United States. The authors first provide a brief overview of past policies and agendas that have created a situation in which the educational and economic needs of immigrant children and their families remain grossly unmet. They then present three overarching principles to guide the Obama administration toward a more humane and effective policy agenda for immigrant children, and outline specific policy recommendations that reflect these principles to better serve this rapidly growing population and secure the future well-being of our nation.
