Organization description

The Immigrant Learning Center, Inc. (The ILC) is a not-for-profit organization that gives immigrants a voice in three ways. The English Language Program provides free, year-round ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes to help immigrant and refugee adults in Greater Boston become successful workers, parents and community members. The Public Education Institute informs Americans about immigrants and immigration in the United States. The Institute for Immigration Research, a joint venture with George Mason University, produces valid, reliable and objective multidisciplinary research on immigrants and immigration to the United States.

Project description

Teaching Immigration: Bringing Immigrant Contributions and Narratives to Life in U.S. History provides teachers with tools to explore immigration through the lens of the history and social studies curriculum already being taught. Each bundle focuses on a major event or time period, from the American Revolution to the Industrial Revolution, and provides classroom-ready lessons, activities, and instructional resources that center primary sources from the Library of Congress. Students are invited to do the critical work of making connections between history and the present day and considering their place in this history as it continues.
