The migrant student population in the United States is surging. This increase in numbers places this unique group of students in thousands of classrooms across the country. Their mobility rates can significantly increase the number of classrooms affected and the number of teachers who must understand their plight. The study at hand explores the academic experiences of twelve college-educated professionals who were once migrant students themselves. Coupled with the expertise of some of their former teachers, the findings result in four unyielding themes that are laid out for the purpose of establishing best practices in order for the educational system to best support them. A quick read for educators looking to aptly approach their migrant students while simultaneously recognizing their lifestyle, motivators and personal struggles.
