______________________________________________________________Ya que en 2016 se cumple el centenario del trabajo más reconocido de Dewey, Democracia y Educación (1916), es importante tener en cuenta el rol que Dewey jugó en la creación de un conocimiento público para educar para la paz. Para comprender en profundidad la obra de Dewey es esencial reconocer que los inicios del siglo XX supusieron un periodo que transformaría su visión sobre la guerra y la paz. Este artículo abordan las ideas políticas y sociales menos conocidas de Dewey durante el ascenso del movimiento "moderno" pacifista norteamericano. Además, se discute la visión de Dewey en relación al rol de la educación en un mundo globalizado. La investigación que se presenta refleja de forma directa los conflictos globales de después de la I Guerra Mundial mientas que se destaca la disparidad entre guerra y paz. ______________________________________________________________

Students with Interrupted Formal Education (SIFE) are underrepresented in the professional literature. The purpose of this research brief is to contribute to an emerging line of research by documenting the variable of existing programs which were created specifically to meet the unique needs of the growing SIFE population. The delivery models and actionable practices for SIFEs reported in this paper are a result of a year-long study conducted in three diverse, near-urban school districts. An analysis of the programs and recognition of their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their documented impact, benefit, and success for learning were considered. Findings indicated that with strong teacher involvement, district-wide planning, access to quality materials, and a keen understanding of the cultural and economic circumstances of the SIFE population, academic success is achievable. This study adds significantly to the emerging scholarly dialogue noting which factors support successful SIFE programs, while acknowledging the unique cultural and academic needs of SIFEs (Marshall & DeCapua, 2013).
