Teachers need to be equipped to deal with this new student in the classroom. Characteristic and skills to deal with these special students will be discussed and practiced in the workshop. This is a new topic for the states, but has 20 years of research supporting the concepts. There are roughly 5 million people leaving abroad and with the economics changing moves cross-culturally will most likely continue to rise. As professionals, let's be prepared!
