New Issue of The International Journal of education for Diversities

The third issue of The International Journal of Education for Diversities (IJE4D, ISSN: 2242-7430), published by the Department of Teacher Education at the University of Helsinki is now available.

The third volume of this journal brings together a special issue and a varia section. The special issue is entitled Diverse Teachers for Diverse Learners and was edited by Clea Schmidt, Heini Paavola and Samúel Lefever. The special issue was prepared by members of the network Diverse Teachers for Diverse Learners (2011-2014, https://vefir.hi.is/dtdl/) sponsored by Nordforsk, an organisation under the Nordic Council of Ministers that provides funding for research and cooperation. The project explored diverse students’ experiences in schools, how students benefit from linguistically and culturally diverse teachers and how the teaching force generally benefits from diversification, how diverse teachers in the different countries effect and contribute to diverse teaching practices and school cultures, and how teacher education in the different countries should develop and take into account the diversification of teachers and students.

The issue also contains two varia articles.

The countries covered in the issue include: Canada, China, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and the UK.

The articles are available online free of charge: http://blogs.helsinki.fi/ije4d-journal/volume-3-2014/
