​

​

• Be mindful of the heightened anti-immigrant rhetoric, jokes and memes that are floating around and HOW they may impact your immigrant students.

​

• Keep your ears open to possible bullying that may occur and check-in on your students.

Vulnerable Student Population Updates

Refugees and asylum seekers have often already experienced multiple traumas, including war & violence, separation from loved ones, and forced relocation. As educators, we have the opportunity to reduce and prevent future trauma.
