Teacher’s readiness for working with migrants’ children as a pedagogical issue
The growing number of migrants is affecting the routine of society, it requires appropriate measures for foreign citizens to adapt to Russian society. Many public spheres, including education, have to be ready for responding effectively to new demographic challenges. The education system is the key institution in the process of adaptation of migrant children. Teachers who are supposed to be ready to work under the conditions of learners’ ethnic and religious heterogeneity often have difficulty working with migrants’ children. One of the important goals of teacher-migrant family collaboration is their children’s social adaptation, which implies mutually positive relations between the child from the migrant family and the host society. Teacher’s readiness to maintain ideas of multiculturalism in their activity will ensure safe development of the country. This can be implemented in the process of would-be teachers training as long as they are provided with ideas about national, cultural and religious characteristics, as well as models of national education in migrant families.
