This open access book aims to unravel entrenched hegemonically-induced hindrances and barriers to internationally acquired teaching competencies' recognition processes. With curricula of teacher education – like school curricula – remaining highly affirmative of localized traditions and styles of reasoning, in times of migration movement, teacher education needs to be reframed to become a global issue. The book's contributions cover manifold facets of how the idea of what makes a teacher is being reframed, touching upon theoretical foundations of perceptions of the teaching profession and concrete analyses of measures to bring internationally trained teachers into systems or make them part thereof. Chapters elaborate on how non-local teachers find their way around and are being treated by pointing to what hinders their (successful) re-entry and how other non- or differently-trained personnel receive preferred treatment. Other contributions focus on strategies teachers apply to deal with ever-growing levels of diversity among students.

Reviews for The Making of Teachers in the Age of Migration: Critical Perspectives on the Politics of Education for Refugees, Immigrants and Minorities

There is no doubt that “The Making of Teachers in the Age of Migration” represents a timely scholarly contribution as the global community grapples with the realities in the post-pandemic world of forced migration, armed, climate and geopolitical crises. The chapters, each in their own right, and also collectively, unpack the quintessential elements of being a teacher in its most basic nature, unmasked by the realities of the teacher as an in situ migrant. In my view this publication will become an important reference point for the global community as we grapple with notions of teacher identity, teacher professionalisation and the international recognition of teacher qualifications in the period ahead. * James Keevy, Chief Executive Officer, JET Education Services, South Africa *
