Teachers and Migrant Families: Pressing Communication (Iberoamerican Journal of Education; vol. 89, no. 1) Year of publication: 2022 Author: Mohamed Chamseddine Habib Allah Corporate author: Organización de Estados Iberoamericanos (OEI) This article presents the results of a study whose objective is to analyze the state of communication between migrant families and teachers in Early Childhood and Primary Education Centers in the Region of Murcia. Two questionnaires were chosen to develop a descriptive non-experimental quantitative research. The main results reveal that extracurricular activities are not part of the usual conversations between families and teachers. However, acceptable but improvable aspects are detected, such as delving into discipline issues, and student learning, etc. On the other hand, it is evident that the parents still do not go to visit the teachers on their own initiative to address the relevant elements of the teaching-learning process of their children. 
Preparing teachers for inclusive education in Latin America (Prospect: quarterly review of comparative education) Year of publication: 2011 Author: Denise Vaillant Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) This article analyzes the current challenges facing inclusive education in Latin America and explores some possible solutions. The author suggests that teachers play a key role in providing education that is inclusive for all. In Latin America, today, however, inclusive education often does not respond to the needs of children and young people, and teachers often finish their professional training without acquiring the skills they need to work with children and young people living in difficult circumstances. Teachers also need incentives to work in remote or difficult geographical areas, and they benefit from national efforts to improve their status, including awards for innovative work. Much remains to be done, but the training of teachers for a more inclusive education system is gradually being incorporated as part of the educational policy agenda in Latin America.

This SHREI project presents its four key concepts through four curricular units, or chapters, each with a series of activities that can easily be adapted for use in courses in many disciplines. Each chapter contains these elements: A definition of the key concept An example of the use of the concept in a human rights document A brief essay on the value of the concept for human rights education A series of activities that guide students in using gender, race/ethnicity/nation, and class as lenses for analyzing social justice issues include transnational and multicultural perspectives on gender and human rights issues use "best practices" pedagogies for teaching human rights topics in community colleges. Within each chapter, activities are orgaized from simple to complex. Most activities, however, have self-contained objectives and can be used independently of the others. Sections on “Extending the Learning” offer longer readings or in-depth material for advanced courses. The GCED Clearinghouse introduces only chapter 4, "global citizenship" of this SHERI project.
