Teachers are vital for the integration of immigrant, refugee and
asylum-seeking students; however, they are not often prepared or
supported to meet the needs of these students. Teacher training
programs rarely focus on strategies and interventions for immigrant
students’ needs, and even less on the special situations of refugee
and asylum-seeking youth, leaving teachers largely unprepared to deal
with the complexity of their abilities and needs. By highlighting the
voices of teachers of immigrant, refugee, and asylum-seeking students,
this book closes between the unique needs of these youth through the
development of meaningful and appropriate pedagogical strategies,
resources, and policies to meet the needs of both students and
teachers. While the focus of the chapters is on the education of
immigrant, refugee and asylum-seeking students, the resources,
strategies and skills proposed will benefit students and educators to
alleviate issues related to trauma, identity, and language. The
research-based evidence presented in this book provides data and
policy recommendations for various educational stakeholders, including
leaders from school to national levels, university faculty and staff,
and policymakers to better prepare, train and develop teachers to
effectively address students with needs related to trauma, identity,
and language in classrooms worldwide. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Teachers and Teaching.
