102: How to Advocate for Undocumented Students

I chat with Dr. Aliza Gilbert about how to support undocumented students. We chat about: What terms to use (and not use) when working with undocumented students What the Dream Act is and why not all students love the term “Dreamers” What percent of kids born right now are born to undocumented parents Whether or not students should reveal their undocumented status in their personal statement How incorrect assumptions can sometimes make a student feel horrible How to know if a school (or a state, for that matter) is/isn’t supportive of undocumented students What teachers/mentors/counselors can do to help undocumented youth
