Light Through a Prism

Before the COVID-19 pandemic surged across the globe, several decades of unprecedented population shifts created a worldwide "e;asylum crisis"e; that impacted millions of children and the educators that support them worldwide (Pinson & Arnot, 2007). Pandemic-era teaching, with all of its challenges, arrived on the heels of massive refugees' resettlement across communities in the U.S. Light Through a Prism explores stories of K-12 educators committed to social justice pedagogy, especially with refugee and displaced students, as they navigate the complexities of pandemic-era schooling. It raises awareness of these students' unique strengths and needs and focuses on the personal and professional knowledge, skills, and resources upon which educators draw.
