The global refugee crisis has reshaped classrooms worldwide. It brought new challenges and opportunities for educators. The book delves into the experiences of grades 4 to 6 teachers in Ontario public schools as they navigate the complex task of educating refugee students. Through touching and heartwarming narratives, this book captures the resilience of both teachers and students, revealing how educators strive to provide not only academic instruction but also emotional support amidst language barriers, trauma, and limited resources.What sets this book apart is its focus on the voices of teachers, offering an intimate look at their strategies, struggles, and triumphs. Grounded in Bronfenbrenner's bioecological systems theory, the book highlights how teachers' emotions and perceptions influence their interactions with refugee students and how professional development shapes classroom dynamics. The stories shared are raw and authentic, making this book a compelling read for educators, policymakers, and anyone passionate about inclusive education.The book not only uncovers the realities of teaching refugee students but also advocates for the changes needed to better support them. It is a vital resource for teachers seeking practical strategies, school leaders aiming to enhance inclusivity, and scholars interested in understanding the complex interactions within educational ecosystems.
