This article introduces the special issue, which focuses on the ways in which educational institutions in Europe and North America are responding to the growing number of children of immigrants entering schools and universities. It discusses the ways in which the needs of children of immigrants differ from those of native-born students, and the ways in which variations in the structure of national education systems, and in policy and practice, may shape the pathways that children of immigrants take into the labor market, higher education, and their lives as citizens. The authors review existing research on this topic and highlight some of the difficulties involved in comparative studies. They close with an overview of the articles presented in the special issue.

Alternative certification defies simplistic characterizations proffered in political debates. Examining seven alternative certification programs to understand who participates and how these programs train teachers, we find teacher development in alternative certification to be a function of the interaction between the program as implemented, the school context in which participants are placed, and the participants’ backgrounds and previous teaching experiences.

This commentary discusses how readiness, a concept often associated with early childhood policy and practice, is being “pushed-up” creating a chain between early childhood and employment. The authors argue a need to break the readiness chain and suggest the break begin within the context of higher education. Further, the authors propose that breaking the readiness chain be the impetus for deserting the concept of readiness and rethinking the view of the student as capable and competent.
