The experience of moving to a foreign country can be traumatic for children, especially those fleeing persecution or war. Metro Detroit organizations are giving immigrant and refugee children tools to heal from traumatic experiences for a better future.
Childhood trauma can express itself in many challenging ways. Some Metro Detroit organizations have learned to look beyond bad behavior to consider possible underlying trauma, giving kids a chance to begin recovery.

Research shows that attention to facility quality and thoughtful classroom design can pave the way to a better educational outcome, augment programming quality, and change the landscape of early childhood education in Detroit.
The student working online at least part of the day appears to be a completely independent learner. But that's not exactly true. Online learners have mentors who encourage them, keep them on track, and relate their digital work to the real world. This critical layer of support helps students achieve satisfying learning experiences and successful completion.
