Eyewitness News Reporter Darla Miles spoke to teachers at I.S. 181 Pablo Casals School in the Bronx to see the struggles and successes when it comes to welcoming young asylum seekers to the city school system.
"From day one, we assign them a buddy. So they have a buddy in their class that speaks English and speaks Spanish, so they're able to kind of communicate with the rest of the group...this is what we're looking for, this is what the teacher just said. So, that helps out a lot. We also now, this year, implemented kind of teacher buddies as well. So, each teacher or guidance counselor is assigned a few kids and we make sure every day we check in with the kids.
So forming that relationship really helps like the structure of everything," said Melissa Lonquich, ENL Teacher M.S. 181. "We make sure any technology they need they have at home, they have this year. We also gave them iPads. So now, we try as much as we can to give them native language support, but we're not a bilingual school. So, we can only do so much of it. A lot of the teachers don't speak Spanish. So we give them the tools that they can learn the English themselves.
