Liz Willen Dear reader,

With all eyes on the presidential caucuses in Iowa this week, we bring you a view from inside the classroom: a look at the Iowa’s growing immigrant student population. ([link removed]) Iowa is a state that is 18 percent whiter than the country as a whole, but Hechinger’s Lillian Mongeau writes about the sizeable growth in the numbers of children from Central America, Mexico and Africa.

This week, we also take you to a remote corner of Appalachia, where a preschool on wheels ([link removed]) is changing life for poor children. And in a new column, I consider the many obstacles students from low-income backgrounds face when it comes to college admissions ([link removed]) , along with some ideas for improving their chances. We welcome your ideas.
