"We Aren't Only Here to Teach": Caring Practices of Teachers in the Context of Inclusive Refugee Education in Jordan
American Educational Research Journal, v60 n1 p3-35 Feb 2023
This article examines the complex process of teachers' care for students in contexts of inclusive refugee education in Jordan, where Syrian refugees and Jordanian students study together. I illustrate that while teachers' caring practices represent efforts to support refugee students, they are limited by teachers' inability to see the social, structural, and systemic power dynamics that restrict Syrian refugees, reifying unequal relations of power between refugees and nationals. National teachers are embedded in the social fabric of the societies in which they live and not impervious to the discriminatory attitudes towards refugees, thereby limiting the extent of their care. This article illuminates the complexity of inclusive refugee education and concludes with implications for teacher education and professional development.
