Considering the Realities of Refugee Students in Order to Support their Resilience: An Analysis of Stories of Practice from Teachers in the Quebec Context

As part of an action-research project involving refugee students in Quebec, we have documented the experiences of teachers who welcome these students into their classes. In this article, we present our analysis of stories of practice. In each story, a teacher recounts an experience involving a refugee student which they believe could be useful in the training of future teachers. Framed within a comprehensive perspective of teachers’ professional skills, our progressive qualitative analysis of the data reveals six ways in which the participants support their students’ resilience, which also appears to contribute to their own professional development.
