Carol and Emily debrief their conversation with Newcomers and SIFE learners and discuss what teachers can be doing to shine a light on what is possible for them.

Carol is joined by three of her students who reflect on what has helped them achieve success in a comprehensive high school. These are new arrivals who are graduating and reflecting on things like years of missed schooling, learning a new language in your new land and what their teachers did to propel their learning forward.

Larry Ferlazzo joins Carol as they discuss his new book and all the ways teachers are supporting teachers.
