This course is designed to give educators a historical overview of Latino immigrants living in Dalton, Georgia since the early 1990s, as well as the economic, social, and educational changes that have taken place as a result of their sudden migration to this rural Georgia town. The goal is to contribute to the research in this area and to inform employers, community leaders, educators, and local residents who have experienced similar demographic shifts to become better aware and sensitive to the challenges experienced by this immigrant population and, thus, better equipped to provide a rigorous yet pedagogically appropriate education for Latino students. The aim is to better understand practices for educating Latino children in the United States.
