EdTrust Acquires National Newcomer Network to Support Immigrant Students
EdTrust has acquired the National Newcomer Network, a coalition of over 500 educators, researchers, and advocates, to bolster national efforts for immigrant students' learning and success.
Washington D.C. – EdTrust announced its acquisition of the National Newcomer Network (NNN), a coalition comprising more than 500 educators, researchers, and advocates. This move aims to strengthen national initiatives focused on ensuring that all students, particularly those from immigrant backgrounds, have the opportunity to learn, belong, and succeed in their education.
The acquisition comes at a time when increased immigration enforcement measures could potentially impact the schooling of immigrant children. EdTrust stated that the integration of NNN is a strategic step to address these challenges and promote educational equity. The network's expertise and extensive reach are expected to foster more supportive learning environments.
National Newcomer Network has been active for several years, concentrating on the needs of immigrant students within the education system. Its work encompasses training, research, and advocacy designed to remove barriers and facilitate student integration. EdTrust plans to incorporate NNN's resources and established networks into its existing operations.
According to EdTrust, this acquisition will enhance the organization's capacity to provide resources and support to schools and educators serving immigrant students. By combining their efforts, EdTrust and NNN intend to influence policies and practices nationwide.
