Abstract
This Special Issue focuses on policies and practices that facilitate migrant integration at individual, school community and national levels, as well as the interactions between them. In particular, we invite studies that aim to understand how migrant students are supported through professional collaboration between teachers, other professionals and families and how policies at different levels and across international contexts enable or impede such collaborative practices. Teachers can work with school counsellors, social workers, mental health professionals, or parents to facilitate migrant students’ integration, and shape the process through which they develop a sense of belonging in their school and community. We seek to understand how institutional, relational and individual levels of teachers’ work interact to create conditions for migrant integration.
Keywords: immigrants; integration of migrants; migrant integration; schools (educational institutions); school community; teachers; students; intercultural interaction; immigrant background; multiculturalism; adaptation (change); education policy
