“Issues Faced by Special Educators Around the World During the Pandemic” examines the context of various countries and the education they provide to students when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world. Within this context, various concerns which arose at the outset as well as interventions which have been initiated to provide education to children and youth, support to families, and efforts to empower teachers and parents to provide alternatives to in-person instruction are examined. Discussion follows considering which of these interventions may be continued after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although youth are often thought of as targets for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) programmes, they are also active partners in creating a more sustainable world and effective ESD programmes. Today, more than ever, young women and men are change-makers, building new realities for themselves and their communities. All over the world, youth are driving social change and innovation, claiming respect for their fundamental human rights and freedoms, and seeking new opportunities to learn and work together for a better future. The education sector is generally seen as the most appropriate forum for involving children and youth in sustainable development, and initiatives to this end have been adopted in many countries. The present paper puts forth such initiatives, interventions and strategies that can be undertaken to engage youth in education for sustainable development at the global as well as the local level.

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) young people are coming of age at a time of dynamic social and political changes with regard to LGBTQ rights and visibility around the world. And yet, contemporary cohorts of SGM youth continue to evidence the same degree of compromised mental health demonstrated by SGM youth of past decades. The authors review the current research on SGM youth mental health, with careful attention to the developmental and contextual characteristics that complicate, support, and thwart mental health for SGM young people. Given a large and rapidly growing body of science in this area, the authors strategically review research that reflects the prevalence of these issues in countries around the world but also concentrate on how mental health concerns among SGM children and youth are shaped by experiences with schools, families, and communities. Promising mental health treatment strategies for this population are reviewed. The chapter ends with a focus on understudied areas in the SGM youth mental health literature, which may offer promising solutions to combat SGM population health disparities and promote mental health among SGM young people during adolescence and as they age across the life course.

This MRP seeks to explore the availability of public services and facilities designed to assist the needs of children in Toronto. Specifically examining neighbourhoods located in or near the central core consisting of mostly high-rise style housing, developed post-2000. Research is conducted in three parts: a literature review, an exploration of successful child-friendly initiatives from around the world, and a GIS mapping exercise of four new vertical neighbourhoods in Toronto. The mapping exercise found that while an extensive child-friendly infrastructure network does not guarantee a large population of children, a neighbourhood’s lack of this network severely limits its ability to attract new families. The number of children living in a place is often used as a metric to measure success. A neighbourhood with a thriving children and youth population means an inclusive and sustainable neighbourhood for everyone.

The international classification of functioning, disability, and health for children and youth (ICF-CY) developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) is a framework for understanding concepts of disability specific to children and youth. This framework has been used in countries around the world to support the education of children with disabilities. In this article, we argue that the ICF-CY has the potential to inform and support Ghana’s education system and to improve the implementation of education for children with disabilities, particularly inclusive education, in Ghana. Specifically, we use children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) as an exemplar to examine how the ICF-CY can support inclusive education for children with disabilities within its main components: Body Functions and Structures, Activities and Participation, Environmental Factors, and Personal Factors. Examining the ICF-CY in these areas is significant, as many similar low- and middle-income contexts have yet to adopt the framework and may draw insights and lessons for its significance in educational contexts.

Bullying is one of the phenomena that often arises in the world of education, including education in elementary schools, where this behavior is aggressive behavior that hurts others, both physically and psychologically. This bulliying problem needs to be addressed by schools through school programs that synergize with parenting programs through the whole-school approach. Therefore, there is a need for cooperation between schools, teachers and parents in overcoming this bulliying problem. The efforts that can be done by schools in synergizing school programs with parenting programs through the whole-school approach are as follows: (1) Activating the school committee which is a representative of the students' parents to design and implement collaboratively about the agreed school programs together, so regular meetings must be held. (2) Conducting a model teacher activity, where the teacher's representative simulates the learning process that is normally carried out so that parents can adjust teaching at home with at school. (3) Carry out activities between the school parties, students and parents of students so that there is a good relationship between various parties such as tourism activities, outbound and others.

O objetivo deste trabalho é revelar as perspectivas de desenvolvimento moral contidas nas diretrizes pedagógicas do Sistema Nacional de Atendimento Socioeducativo - SINASE/2006, analisadas sob a luz da teoria construtivista das obras de Jean Piaget e Lawrence Kohlberg. Segundo estes autores, a autonomia moral é alcançada por meio de relacionamentos cooperativos, em que se estabelece uma relação de diálogo e respeito entre os sujeitos. Já o SINASE, enquanto conjunto ordenado de princípios, regras e critérios que envolvem a execução de medidas socioeducativas aos adolescentes em conflito com a lei, objetiva promover o desenvolvimento destes defendendo um alinhamento conceitual estruturado em bases éticas e pedagógicas. Ambos enxergam na educação, no respeito e na interação entre o sujeito e o mundo, meios de contribuir na formação de um sujeito autônomo, solidário e capaz de se relacionar melhor consigo mesmo e com os outros, cujos princípios e valores se tornarão os norteadores para uma tomada de decisão em detrimento de uma obediência irrefletida, baseada no medo e na punição. Diante de um quadro agravante de violência envolvendo o público infantojuvenil é fundamental que as bases, que sustentam os direitos e norteiam os serviços sejam constantemente ressignificadas para que as práticas alcancem os resultados esperados.Palavras-chave: SINASE.

According to these authors the moral autonomy is achieved through cooperative relationships that establish a relationship of dialogue and respect among subjects. Whereas SINASE as an ordered set of principles, rules and criteria involves the educational measures execution for young offenders, aiming to promote the development of adolescents defending a conceptual alignment with structured ethical and pedagogical bases. Both sighted in education, respect and interaction between the subject and the world, means to contribute to the formation of an autonomous subject, supportive, able to relate better with himself or herself and with others, the principles and values will become the guiding for a decision-making at the expense of an unthinking obedience based on fear and punishment. Faced with a worsening situation of violence involving children and youth it is essential that the underpinning rights and guide services are constantly reinterpreted so that the practices achieve the expected results.Keywords: SINASE.
