Immigration in Elementary Schools

This professional development from CUNY-IIE supports WNY educators in developing stronger relationships with immigrant students and families and collaborating with community-based partners to understand and advocate for their needs. The module also focuses on using children’s literature to discuss current immigration issues in a developmentally appropriate way.

Educators will earn a total of fifteen (15) CTLE credits upon successful completion of the module.

The deadline for registration is Wednesday, February 7, 2024.

On March 25, 2024 the Multilingual Literacy SIFE Screener (MLS) Portal website will get a new look, and new login system!
