The first resource to combine the theory of globalizing education preparation programs (EPP) with practice collected from all regions of the world, At School in the World: Developing Globally Engaged Teachers makes the case for the necessity of incorporating global citizenship and intercultural competence development into education curricula at all levels.
This volume includes the voices of forty-seven emerging and distinguished intercultural education scholars from ten countries, providing a breadth and depth of experiences and practices never before collected in one book. This is an ideal resource for division leaders of EPP at colleges and universities, education policy developers, teacher preparation faculty, preservice teachers (undergraduate and graduate), and practicing teachers.
Through insights from the field and practical examples, along with its broad scope, this comprehensive work aims to help these education practitioners
develop their awareness of the importance of internationalization of teacher education;develop their intercultural competence; andlearn strategies for incorporating global approaches in their courses and programs.
