E BEING THE
NEW KID AT
SCHOOL....A LITTLE
NERVEWRACKING.
NOW IMAGINE BEING
NEW TO THE COUNTRY
AS WELL.
THE NOW'S RAE
DANIEL SHARES WITH
US HOW A LOCAL
SCHOOL DISTRICT IS
HELPING THOSE
STUDENTS ADJUST TO
MORE THAN JUST
ACADEMICS.
BEHIND THESE DOORS
ARE NEW STUDENTS,
NOT JUST TO THIS
SCHOOL, BUT TO THIS
COUNTRY. AS THEY
LEARN ABOUT MATH
SCIENCE AND ART,
THEY'RE ALSO
LEARNING ABOUT THE
CULTURE HERE IN
KANSAS CITY.
The first day when I
started I was a little bit
scared
NEVELL IS ONE OF 60
STUDENTS HERE AT
EAST HIGH APART OF
THE NEW AMERICAN
ACADEMY PROGRAM.
We serve kids that have
been in the country less
than 12 months -- and
they have had limited
schooling experiences in
their native country.
MORE THAN 50
DIFFERENT
LANGUGAES ARE
SPOKEN FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE
WORLD...
THIS PROGRAM GIVES
THESE NEW ENGLISH
LANGUAGE LEARNERS
A CHANCE TO LEARN
TOGETHER ABOUT THE
AMERICAN CULTURE....
Then you can understand,
then you can learn
English.
They get to share their
own culture and their own
experience and they're
learning from eachother's
cultural experiences.
AND IT'S THOSE
EXPERIENCES RISA
WOODS HAS A PASSION
FOR.
My father's from a different
country. He's from Iran. So
I think growing up in two
different cultures that's
what initially got me
intersted.
WITH A FOCUS ON
ENGLISH LANGUAGE
AND THE AMERICAN
SCHOOL SYSTEM...THIS
PROGRAM PROVIDES A
SMOOTHER
TRANSITION INTO THE
FALL SCHOOL YEAR.
They just feel safer and
more comfortable and a
little bit more advocate for
themselves when they
have questions or when
there's misconceptions or
confusion.
THROUGH THIS
PROGRAM THEY'RE
ABLE TO NOT ONLY
LEARN ABOUT THEIR
DIFFERENCES ...BUT
WHAT THEY HAVE IN
COMMON.
I think people can learn to
be as one because we
are all are running for the
future.
This is the story of Kansas
City now -- This is their
neighborhood. This is their
school. They're kids
essentially. It's impacting
UNTIL MID JULY.
K-C-P-S ALSO HAS THIS
SUMMER PROGRAM
FOR ITS YOUNGER
STUDENTS AT
GRANDVIEW
ELEMENTARY ...
SERVING ABOUT 150
NEW ENGLISH
LEARNERS.
