Abstract
The purpose of this case study was to examine factors which influence Micronesian migrant students who successfully matriculate to schools in the U.S. territory of Guam. A heuristic, exploratory case study design was used to provide an overarching framework for the study. The study included both quantitative and qualitative data. Educator surveys were used to help inform educator interviews for the purpose of identifying common factors that lead to Micronesian migrant student success in the U.S. territory of Guam. From this analysis, culture, mindsets, English Language Learning strategies, resources, and family and community engagement emerged as the foundation of a framework for engaging Micronesian migrant students.|Keywords: English Language Learner, Family and Community Engagement, Indigenous Education, Micronesia, Migrant Student, Student Success.
