ABSTRACT
Since the summer of 2006, we have been part of a six-nation research project titled "The Children of Immigrants in Schools" (CIS). With Richard Alba as the lead principal investigator (PI), the CIS project is driven by ten co-PIs and fifteen research fellows conducting binational comparative research on schooling and second-generation immigrants in the United States and Europe (U.S.-Great Britain, U.S.-France, U.S.-Spain, U.S.-Holland, U.S.-Sweden). As part of the five-member U.S.-Sweden team, we were two of the research fellows who collected data on "promising practices" in schools with high enrollments of immigrant students.
