Asian-American students’ high achievement in education has been well documented; however, this positive image potentially serves as an argument to exclude them from programs focused on growing academic potential and masks the struggles of many Asian-American students. When viewed as a single group, the dominant educational success of some Asian-American subgroups provides a false sense of complacency faced by other subgroups. This session raises such issues to dispel myths surrounding Asian American students and to move towards accepting differences within the group. Practical strategies for promoting academic and social/emotional well-being in education are also discussed.
