Abstract | With a long history of being a haven for immigrants, Dearborn, Michigan, welcomes it latest newcomers with overwhelming support. The success of this effort comes in part from a strong labor-management collaboration between Dearborn Public Schools, and the local union, the Dearborn Federation of Teachers (DFT), which has enabled educators to meet students' needs so that they can feel safe enough to learn. Last year, the team at ColorinColorado.org, the nation's leading website for educators and families of English language learners (ELLs), explored this collaboration in Dearborn. Through a partnership with the American Federation of Teachers and the DFT, the team produced "You Are Welcome Here," a 20-minute film about the Dearborn Public Schools' comprehensive efforts on behalf of this resilient student population. Throughout the course of the school visits, numerous interviews, and two intensive days of filming, the team began to develop a deeper understanding of what's working in Dearborn and what other school districts can learn from its example.
