Challenges faced by immigrant students in secondary schools are often a result of the school structure. Problems include fragmented schools and instructional approaches, complex course systems, demanding graduation and college entrance requirements, and placement and tracking methods. To provide school staff with insight and solutions for these challenges, the author provides in-depth profiles of six immigrant high school students coming from diverse backgrounds. She describes four programs in the United States that are developing responsive approaches for the students and identifies 10 characteristics of schools and programs that can foster effective teaching and learning for immigrant youth.
