EdTrust Acquires National Newcomer Network to Support Immigrant Students
EdTrust has acquired the National Newcomer Network, a coalition of over 500 educators and advocates, to bolster national efforts ensuring immigrant students can learn and succeed.
EdTrust announced Tuesday the acquisition of the National Newcomer Network, a coalition comprising more than 500 educators, researchers, and advocates. The move aims to strengthen national initiatives focused on supporting immigrant students' education and integration.
The acquisition comes as discussions around immigration policies and their impact on student populations continue. The National Newcomer Network has historically worked to advocate for policies and practices that benefit newcomer students in educational settings.
By integrating the network's resources and expertise, EdTrust plans to expand its work in ensuring that all students, particularly those from immigrant backgrounds, have access to quality education and supportive learning environments. This partnership is intended to enhance advocacy efforts and provide resources for educators working with diverse student populations.
EdTrust stated the combined efforts will focus on research, policy recommendations, and direct support for schools and districts. The organization aims to address challenges faced by immigrant students, promoting their academic success and sense of belonging within the school system.
