The Northwest Foundation of Washington is dedicated to internationalizing
education for newly arrived students of all ages in the Pacific Northwest. To
meet this goal we study the totality of education access to community by hosting
interdisciplinary conferences and forums, holding immigrant education and
language assimilation briefing series, and offering specialized K-12 survey
monitoring programs. One of Northwest Foundation of Washington’s unique
features is that it coordinates concerned academics and educators who research
and teach about international migrations.
Given Northwest Foundation of Washington’s educational mission, and its depth
and breadth in immigration and education, the founders collaborated in 2005-6
with faculty from Seattle University and University of Washington’s College of
Education. Our focus is to assist in curriculum development that assists
educators to effectively serve and educate growing populations of immigrant
school children.
