Abstract
This thesis paper explores the challenges and opportunities for growth among refugees in the classroom with the trauma they experienced. Drawing on a range of literature and research, the paper examines the various facets of trauma in education, including the systemic problems that contribute to this issue. These include the challenges faced by refugee students within the education system, and the challenges faced by teachers who work with students who have experienced trauma. The paper argues for a copowerment Model of education, which emphasizes collaboration, mutual support, and empowerment of all stakeholders, including students, teachers, and parents, which can provide an effective way to provide a smooth transition to the U.S.
