    • The shift from multicultural to intercultural education is not an automatic or stagnant process; on the contrary it entails a significant amount of effort from one of its basic protagonists, that is, the teachers (and their established perceptions which in turn deeply affect their employed tactics, methods and everyday practices); the latter being the main area of focus on this study. This particular qualitative piece of research was undertaken in the broad region of Attica. Participants, included fifteen (N=15) secondary education teachers, from different disciplines, working in public schools with migrant and/or refugee students from various cultural backgrounds. The research tool selected included semistructured interviews in order to gain insight on teachers’ views. The research aimed at investigating teachers’ views and perceptions on their students’ background and how these in turn affect their use of innovative learning theories (and practices) as well as their teaching methods of choice. It also targeted at unearthing several difficulties that teachers may face when attempting to address their diverse everyday classroom reality and also point out teachers’ suggested criteria of evaluating their students. The results emphasized the importance of psychosocial support for refugee and migrant students, the need to establish a climate of cooperation and also incorporating the use of elements of students’ different cultural background (e.g. language, prior experiences). Furthermore, it was pointed out that lesson-planning according to the existing curriculum and lack of communication with parents, are among the most severe difficulties faced by teachers in the education of this particular student population.
