Description This alternative delivery training is appropriate for all teachers, but especially for those teaching ESOL and EL/Civics. All materials are provided by the Northeast ABLE Resource Center. Written by Cleveland attorney and Chinese immigrant Margaret Wong, "The Immigrant's Way" will be of interest to American readers seeking to become better informed about U.S. immigration law and history, but its primary audience is fellow immigrants. From in-depth immigration histories of different groups to simple tips to real-life stories and scenarios, foreign-born readers will learn about the immigration process from start to finish. Among those topics, Wong includes information about adoption, asylum, deportation, different visa types and who can apply for them (e.g., students, workers, family members, etc.). The book provides an overview of common scenarios encountered by immigrants with practical pointers on how to tackle those situations. Please note: Nothing in this book should be taken as a substitute for the services of qualified legal counsel. The activity involves the following steps: 1. Read the book. 2. Write a reaction paper expressing how the information could be useful in your work with immigrants and refugees. 3. Return the book with your reaction paper to the Northeast ABLE Resource Center along with the evaluation form, and a Certificate of Completion will be sent to you. Contact hours for this activity are 2.5 hrs.
