Immigrant mothers and school Relations with teachers

Abstract

Dialogue represents a founding educational principle of intercultural pedagogy
and may be traced back to the relationship between immigrant mothers and
teachers in school. Through their words and the research conducted in this field,
many aspects characterising the relationship between school and immigrant families
emerge, at times marked by alliances, shared expectations and intentions and
at other times by conflicts and mutual misunderstandings. The role of teachers
and their awareness of the dynamics and complexities of migration are decisive
not only for building educational alliances but also for the educational and professional success of the children, Italian citizens of the future.
