The dispersion of immigrants has challenged educators in new immigrant destinations to adapt to the needs of their first cohorts of children of immigrants. This paper evaluates how families, schools, and neighborhoods shape the academic adaptation of immigrants' children in new and established immigrant states. Using the Educational Longitudinal Study (ELS) from 2002, the paper examines how 10 grade math and reading test scores differ across three settlement locations: established, new, and other immigrant states. Results indicate that achievement in math and reading is highest in new immigrant states. While demographic differences between settlement locations largely explained differences in achievement, families and schools in new immigrant states also strongly influenced achievement.
移民的分散分布给新移民目的地的教育工作者带来了挑战,要求他们适应首批移民子女的需求。本文评估了家庭、学校和社区如何影响新移民国家和既有移民国家中移民子女的学业适应情况。本文利用2002年的教育纵向研究(ELS),考察了三个定居地(既有移民国家、新移民国家和其他移民国家)的十年级学生数学和阅读测试成绩的差异。结果表明,新移民国家的数学和阅读成绩最高。虽然定居地之间的人口差异在很大程度上解释了成绩差异,但新移民国家的家庭和学校也对成绩有很大影响。
