Research
As an educational system, there is still so much to learn about how to serve our high school newcomer students academically, socially, and emotionally. Over the years, we have worked as a staff to investigate data trends that reflect how our students learn and acquire language. We have also hosted researchers from nearby universities whose fields of study overlapped with our own needs and growth areas as a school.
We support teacher inquiry and action research projects that can ultimately benefit schools and educators who are working to serve newcomers around the country. Contact us if you are interested in being a partner focused on research that supports better outcomes for newcomer students in our schools.
