Resources for Educators

Dear Educators,

We are sharing these resources focused on navigating transnational issues that are increasingly relevant in our community. The objective of this initiative is to raise awareness of the issues transnational students and families face within the education system. We hope you can use these tools to help your students and families navigate these issues. 

Why This Matters

In our interconnected world, transnational issues are not confined to only two countries; they impact all nations. By raising awareness of transnational issues within our Latinx communities, we can begin to raise an integral understanding of the issues that many transnational students and families across the country face. By staying informed, we can bring awareness to the academic, social, and mental health issues transnational students face. We hope that these resources help you with guidance on how to navigate these issues within your community.

Thank you for your dedication to education and for embracing these resources to enhance your impact. Together, we can prepare our students to navigate and contribute positively to a complex world.
