This Professional Development Presentation was designed and facilitated at the 5dp Five District Partnership Educator Showcase professional development (PD) workshop. It focused on Chapter 11: Cases on Immigrant Status from the book "Case Studies on Diversity and Social Justice Education (2nd edition)" by Gorski and Pothini. The cases presented a variety of real-life scenarios and allowed educators to reflect on their biases and ways to create a more understanding classroom. The cases spotlighted: -Educators assigning nicknames to students with difficult to pronounce names -How black students from Africa and the United States perceive and identify themselves -How high-achieving immigrant children are treated in school sports teams -How involved immigrant parents are in their child's schooling -Why it is normal to have non-related family members attend parent-teacher meetings and be considered 'family'. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/390943678_Presentation_Case_Studies_on_Immigrant_Status
