“…School counsellors and administrators should also pay special attention to early school dropouts of immigrant students. It may be particularly important to increase parental involvement, which is usually low among immigrants’ population due to the language barriers and lack of familiarity with the educational system of the host country (Antony‐Newman, 2019). Importantly, our findings suggest that supporting immigrant students’ adaptive coping strategies by implementing changes in their schools would also foster their strong sense of identity.…”

Increasing immigration around the world has affected the lives of children and adolescents. The ability to cope with the stress of migration and adaptation to a new culture likely is an important protective factor for optimal identity development under these conditions. The present study examined the role of coping strategies in interpersonal identity development among immigrant adolescents. The sample consisted of 93 (43% females) first-generation immigrant adolescents who migrated to Turkey due to war in their home countries. They have been living in the suburbs in Ankara and attending regular public schools. A two-wave longitudinal design was employed with a 4-month interval between waves. Identity development was measured using the Utrecht-Management of Identity Commitments Scale focusing on the dimensions commitment, in-depth exploration, and reconsideration of commitment in the domain of interpersonal relations. The coping strategies problem-solving, social support seeking, and avoidance were assessed with the Coping Strategies Scale. Results showed that none of the identity dimensions significantly predicted the use of specific coping strategies. However, different coping strategies predicted relative change in some identity dimensions. These results are discussed in light of previous findings on associations between identity development and coping strategies in different populations, and the difficulties associated with being an immigrant.

“…These include language and cultural barriers [24], challenges with academic adjustment and expectations in the U.S. [25], unresolved historical trauma [26,27] , as well as differing priorities and goals between family members who may want children to work vs. schools who may push for access to college [28,29]. Additionally, level of education, language ability, lack of familiarity with US school systems, and socioeconomic status of parents greatly influences the parent's availability to assist their children with homework and educational needs [30,31,32]. Given the multiple challenges that immigrant students face, educational attainment and access to freely attend and participate in school is of utmost importance to immigrants in the U.S. educational system.…”

One in four children in U.S. schools are part of an immigrant family, and we need to ensure that there are enough, and culturally sensitive services available to meet their needs and help them succeed educationally. Using a qualitative document analysis framework, the authors deductively coded more than 110 websites to assess the services available to immigrant students in a city in a Mid-Atlantic state of the United States. The results indicate that services included English as a second language services (n=33), tutoring (n=23), parent engagement activities (n=11), summer programs (n=11), college access programs (n=10), and orientation programs (n=9). Together the agencies and schools offer many programs that are reminiscent of collective impact models. We provide recommendations for future research and practice.

“…For the remaining time, children attend regular early childhood education programmes. Findings from a national cohort study suggest that this approach bears high benefits in terms of better language mastery (Akgündüz and Heijnen, 2018 [24]; Leseman et al, 2017[25]).…”

This is the fourth publication in "Making Integration Work", a series that summarises main lessons from the OECD's work on integration policies. The objective is to present in a non-technical way the main challenges and good policy practices to support the lasting integration of immigrants and their children.This fourth edition takes stock of the experiences of OECD countries in the integration of young people with migrant parents. It summarises this along 11 main policy lessons with supporting examples of good practice. It also provides a comprehensive comparison of the policy frameworks that govern policy strategies for the integration of young people with migrant parents in OECD countries. Information about the different policy frameworks was gathered through a questionnaire.Previous editions of this series addressed the integration of refugees and others in need of protection, the assessment and recognition of foreign qualifications and the integration of family migrants. A further booklet will cover language training for adult migrants.
