In this book, internationally migrant families invite us to listen
to the storylines of their mostly muted voices as they navigate the
local schools in their new cultural context. They call us to hear
them as they grapple with issues they encounter. They implore us to
feel like an outsider and see the school as a foreign culture with
language and communication barriers. The book is organized to
enhance this carework. Each chapter begins with a vignette that
includes the voices of one or more members of international
migrating families, while introducing the context of the chapter.
At the end of each chapter readers will find specific implications
to consider. These are constructed with preservice teachers,
practicing teachers, and educational administrators in mind. As you
read each chapter, there is the call for school transformation. The
families in this book entreat school personnel to engage with
international migrant families and to embrace a risk and resilience
model as we strive together for success. These storylines challenge
us to examine our personal storylines for biases and deficit
understandings and call us all to purposefully rewrite these in the
spirit of possibilities as the families in this book have embodied
for us.
