Okilwa, Nathern S. A.
Global Education Review, v5 n4 p17-35 2018
As political and economic instability coupled with natural disasters continue to displace people around the world, migration and resettlement remain necessary. Hosting countries and communities grapple with how to meet the diverse needs of the refugees. Given that over a half of the refugees are under the age of 18 years (i.e., school-age children and youth), schools play a major role in the process of integration in to the new homeland. The purpose of this article is report on the principal's leadership efforts to include refugee students and their families at Northstar Elementary School. The descriptive reporting of the principal's efforts is organized by three themes: fostering new meanings about diversity, promoting inclusive school cultures and instructional programs, and building relationships between schools and communities.
