Teaching Refugees and Displaced Students by Thomas Devere Wolsey

This textbook serves as a guide for practitioners whose goal is to enhance refugee students’ learning experiences. With millions of children globally in refugee or seeking asylum status, this volume is a must-read for every 21st century educator.

This textbook helps educators to restore hope through the following topics:         empowering refugees in school         liberating structures in resettlement camps         increasing opportunity at university         designing compassionate pedagogies         leveraging technology         connecting the community Each chapter includes points to ponder as educators work to apply the principles of restoring hope for refugee students and their families. This textbook also provides practical suggestions and case studies that will help educators to put theory into practice. Teachers and professors who are passionate about honing their skills will find this book a comprehensive resource when displaced students enter their classrooms.  This volume will also be of great interest to teacher-educators, pre-service teachers, educators serving in refugee camps and school administrators.
