More than 50 million individuals will be forcibly displaced from their homes this year. Many will be resettled into other countries or cultures, including the United States. With specific regard to education, a growing sector of ELA instruction now caters to the unique needs of refugee and immigrant students. These “Newcomer” learners, as they are resettled into Westernized regions, require a tailored brand of education. The Newcomer Student is a field guide from the trenches. It is the product of one educational specialist’s experiences, observations, and research in the Newcomer ELA field. It is a tale of personal participation, linking grassroots to modern progressive protocol, a story of cultural exploration, stemming from Louise’s refugee teaching experiences, and an ongoing search to discover interpersonal peace and humanistic continuity.

Louise H. Kreuzer is a seasoned Newcomer ELA-E educator who has extensive experience working with trauma-impacted refugees, both domestically and abroad. She has been awarded Rodel Exemplary Student Teacher, ASU (2007), Professional Fulbright to Tanzania (2010), and Mile High Teacher (2011), but her greatest professional accomplishments occur daily in the successes of her third grade Newcomer students in Denver, CO.
