The special issue is entitled <b>Diverse Teachers for Diverse Learners</b> and was edited by Clea Schmidt, Heini Paavola and Samúel Lefever. The special issue was prepared by members of the network <i>Diverse Teachers for Diverse Learners </i>(2011-2014, <a href="https://vefir.hi.is/dtdl/">https://vefir.hi.is/dtdl/</a>) sponsored by Nordforsk, an organisation under the Nordic Council of Ministers that provides funding for research and cooperation.
