Before the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant “asylum crisis” emerged globally, affecting millions of children and the educators who support them worldwide (Pinson & Arnot, 2007). This crisis was compounded by the unprecedented population shifts that had taken place over several decades. However, the onset of the pandemic brought with it a new set of challenges, particularly in the realm of teaching. Pandemic-era teaching presented educators with a range of difficulties, requiring them to adapt to new circumstances and navigate the complexities of remote learning. Light Through a Prism: Stories of K-12 Educators Committed to Social Justice Pedagogy and Refugee and Displaced Students explores the experiences of these educators as they navigate the complexities of pandemic-era schooling. It highlights the unique strengths and needs of these students and emphasizes the personal and professional knowledge, skills, and resources that educators draw upon to support their learning.
