| Abstract: | Immigrant children are an under-researched yet a steadily growing group. It is therefore compelling for practitioners to understand
challenges these children are likely to encounter in the classroom so as to effectively meet their needs. In this article
various theoretical perspectives of prominent child development theories are analyzed in an attempt to understand immigrant
children in the classroom. Theories of Maslow, Freud, Erikson, Piaget, Vygotsky, and Bronfenbrenner are explicitly discussed.
Some suggestions for practice are also provided. |
