'Poverty, famine, lack of opportunity, climate change, and armed conflict among other factors have created the largest global diaspora that the world has ever seen. Millions of children with refugee and asylum seeking experiences, many who have experienced devasting and traumatic losses, currently attend schools in their new countries. This valuable book includes interviews with primary and secondary teachers in five English speaking countries who have worked successfully in educating these students, and shares the teachers' reflections and practices that are linked to their success in educating these students. The authors connect the teachers' stories to the theories and research that supports them. This book is a valuable resource for both teachers and the teacher educators who prepare them to teach.'

'It is a shocking fact there are upwards of 84 million refugees and asylum seekers across the world. This ambitious, profound and humane book provides powerful evidence on the best ways of educating displaced children and young people. It looks through the lens of science and mathematics education alongside the vital need to focus on students' growth and personal development with a deep understanding about the roles and responsibilities of teachers. Refugees are not a burden but a massive asset to societies. As the book concludes, teaching is the profession that can make a difference in both securing society's inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers and in enabling society to understand that it is enriched by their diverse ways of knowing and understanding.'
