This session draws from a qualitative CERIC-supported research program conducted in three Canadian provinces that examined best practices and programs to support the integration of refugee and newcomer students. By demonstrating how ecological systems interact to support or subvert student progress, practical recommendations to facilitate adjustment, career development and promote well-being will be discussed.
Learning outcomes:
- Strategies for building intercultural competence and knowledge of diversity
- New insights into challenges and best practices to support newcomers
- Transformative ideas and praxis-oriented suggestions for teaching career development
