Your responses help gather data for research about undocumented students in our state.
About the Train the Trainer professional development:
The training will address the status of undocumented immigrant students enrolled at Washington State higher education institutions by engaging the faculty and staff to become informed about the status of undocumented immigrant students in Washington, and apprised of best student success practices and other resources. A secondary outcome is to create a model that can be used in other venues, particularly by other professionals that also need to learn about undocumented immigrant students, the laws that impinge upon student lives, and policies and practices that can contribute to their academic success. Participants will learn the following:
- To inform participants of the needs, concerns, and issues impacting undocumented students access to higher education.
- To provide technical information related to HB1079, DACA & SB 6523
- To provide information on how to create a welcoming and supportive climate at your institution by integrating knowledge & skills.
- To share about the work of the Washington State Educational Access Coalition for HB 1079 students.
The goals of the Washington State Educational Access Coalition for HB1079 Students:
– Create a welcoming and supportive campus environment for undocumented immigrant students, thus assisting their integration into campus life.
– Increase faculty and staff knowledge and effectiveness about the needs, concerns, and issues of undocumented immigrant students and their families
– Educate faculty and staff about relevant immigration laws impacting students and related student issues and challenges.
