The Students We Share
2021
Overview
Millions of students in the US and Mexico begin their educations in
one country and find themselves trying to integrate into the school
system of the other. As global migration increases, their numbers
are expected to grow and more and more teachers will find these
transnational students in their classrooms. The goal of The
Students We Share is to prepare educators for this present and
future reality. While the US has been developing English as a
Second Language programs for decades, Mexican schools do not offer
such programs in Spanish and neither the US nor Mexico has prepared
its teachers to address the educational, social-psychological, or
other personal needs of transnational students. Teachers know
little about the circumstances of transnational students' lives or
histories and have little to no knowledge of the school systems of
the country from which they or their family come. As such, they are
fundamentally unprepared to equitably educate the \"students we
share,\" who often fall through the cracks and end their educations
prematurely. Written by both Mexican and US pioneers in the field,
chapters in this volume aim to prepare educators on both sides of
the US-Mexico border to better understand the circumstances,
strengths, and needs of the transnational students we teach. With
recommendations for policymakers, administrators, teacher
educators, teachers, and researchers in both countries, The
Students We Share shows how preparing teachers is our shared
responsibility and opportunity. It describes policies, classroom
practices, and norms of both systems, as well as examples of
ongoing partnerships across borders to prepare the teachers we need
for our shared students to thrive.
