TARGETED RESOURCES FOR PROFESSIONALS

The BRYCS Clearinghouse serves a number of audiences - practitioners, researchers and policymakers, refugee educators, program managers/administrators and refugees. We have created annotated bibliographies for each for these groups in order to help you quickly and easily retrieve the most pertinent information. The bibliographies consist of a list of resources, a description of the resource (abstract) and information on its availability. Links to the full text of a resource are provided, when available. In some cases, descriptions of programs are also included in the bibliographies. This is an ongoing project so check back periodically to see what topics have been added. We welcome your suggestions for additional topics.

EDUCATORS AND PARENTS
Professionals who use or develop instructional materials meant to be used directly by refugees  are included in this category.  The materials may be the actual instructional materials, a prototype used with a non-refugee population with limited language skills that can be adapted to the refugee population, or information on how to develop such materials.  This category also includes resources for refugee parents.
