EDUCATORS FOR FAIR CONSIDERATION (E4FC)

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Educator Toolkit

Educators have been at the forefront of implementing the recent immigration policy known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), not just in supporting undocumented students in gathering documentation for their DACA requests, but also in advising them on the many academic, career and personal opportunities that could be made possible by obtaining DACA. We have created this guide to help educators better support undocumented students in pursuing DACA.

In this toolkit, you will find a brief history of DACA, including an overview of the eligibility criteria; top five facts to help educators support DACA request efforts; extensive Frequently Asked Questions, including common concerns confronting educators; a summary of processes that certain school districts have created to respond to thousands of documentation requests for DACA applications; and useful resources available to educators. Throughout the guide, you will also read accounts from various school district personnel providing insight into the importance of helping undocumented students.
