About This Webinar
Thousands of Afghan and other refugees are being resettled across the U.S. Join the Immigrant Learning Center in this session to learn how to elevate refugee students’ experiences and gain strategies for using graphic novels as teaching tools in the classroom. Using a graphic novel about a family of Syrian refugees, we will model a culturally responsive, trauma-informed approach to storytelling that centers on students' experiences. You will learn about current refugee populations and policies, with an emphasis on refugees in K-12 educational settings. We will practice strategies for empathetically eliciting refugee stories in the classroom, giving all students a sense of community, engagement and pride.
