Summary:

"The book is the direct response to the types of questions that educators have asked to author over the years with regards to definitions of certain legal terms as well as what types of resources are available for refugees and immigrants in the community. It is scenario-based, in that it grounds the law and policy explained within its pages in the types of real-life events educators could encounter in the course of their teaching, and it provides practical information that educators can use to both advocate for the refugees and immigrants with whom they work and direct them toward needed services"-- Provided by publisher.
