This report presents results from a National Coalition of Advocates for Students' (NCAS) study (Looking for America) of intergroup relations between immigrant and U.S. born students in public schools and the organization's collaboration with selected schools to improve those relationships. The report reveals school practices designed to improve intergroup relations, presents evidence of strategic planning and deliberate interventions that foster improvements in intergroup relationships between students through on-site implementation in seven schools across the country, and documents the knowledge gleaned from the intervention sites. Profiles of 16 school programs are described, and the characteristics of what is required for these types of programs to work are listed. The profiles reveal the extent of the student diversity within these schools as well as the diversity of the actions taken to meld the groups into a harmonious whole. Their experience reveals that respect for one another can be taught and that steps can be taken to broaden students' understanding that the world is wider than political and cultural boundaries allow. Appendixes contain the research methodology and criteria for including a particular school in the research, a list of resources, and information on the NCAS. (Contains 19 references.) (CM)

As we begin a new millennium, humankind is still plagued by intergroup conflict, racism, prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination. This book is intended both as supplemental reading for courses and as a practical guidebook for individuals and programs interested in reducing prejudice and improving intergroup relations. It provides the only comprehensive review and compilation of techniques of improving intergroup relations. There′s a huge amount of literature on the causes and nature of prejudice, reflecting great interest in the topic, but the literature on prejudice reduction is more scattered, spread across a range of theoretical and applied sources. This book brings these literatures together, with an emphasis on helping to elucidate what works and why.

This report highlights selected schools and their collaborative efforts in pulling educators, families, and communities together to support a particular school's success and the well-being of its immigrant students. The report documents promising practices, but also places these efforts in broader contexts, both practical and theoretical. These practices illustrate how immigrant student issues are inseparable from broader and deeper issues of innovation and reform in public school education. Specific areas that these programs address are the following: creative approaches to classroom learning; helping students to take charge of their own learning; innovative actions that make schools more inclusive; efforts that link learning with strong home, school, and community ties; and new ways of educating educators and conducting professional development that respond to the need for educating for a diverse world. The final section examines two primary themes found in these practices: starting with the learner and using schools as strategic sites for collaboration and change. Appendixes contain research methodology, a glossary of terms, information on the National Coalition of Advocates for Students, a list of educational entitlements for all children, and a list of selected readings by subject area.

In 1992, the National Coalition of Advocates for Students received a grant to support a national project to examine social relationships between immigrant students and children of established residents. This book documents activities from the Looking for America project at seven diverse U.S. public schools and offers conclusions and recommendations to guide those undertaking similar efforts in other schools. The experiences of these 7 urban schools (4 high schools, 1 elementary school, and 2 middle schools), opinions of their students, and responses of 182 staff members were used to distill the following action steps for change: (1) create a climate for change; (2) establish an intergroup relations team; (3) develop a school profile; (4) make an inventory of resources; (5) involve the community; and (6) make a plan. Case studies of each of the project schools explore the intergroup relations activities in each. Four appendixes discuss study methodology and intergroup relations, describe 12 resource organizations, and describe the National Coalition of Advocates for Students. (SLD)
