Refugee Education: Backward Design to Enable Futures
This short paper by REACH director Sarah Dryden-Peterson explores the use of backward design as a way to conceptualize refugee education policy and practice.
Drawing on examples of classroom and research experiences, it proposes a planning template aimed at enabling refugee education policy and practice to facilitate the futures that refugee young people imagine and aim to create.
“Education for refugees needs to account for this volatility and refugee young people’s aspirations within it by enabling refugee young people to develop the skills and knowledge to navigate and create these multiple futures.”
