29.066 - Intercultural Learning Following an International Teaching Experience: Preparing Intercultural Teachers for Social Justice

Fri, April 17, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Hyatt, Floor: West Tower - Gold Level, Atlanta

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

International teacher education experiences are offered as unique intercultural learning opportunities, allowing teacher candidates to uncover the role culture, language, and heritage plays in teaching and learning. It is posited that these experiences have long-term, positive influences on teachers’ intercultural development, yet such international experiences must be judged by the enduring influence they have on a teachers’ ability to provide an equitable education for all students. This session considers what happens after teachers return from international experiences, examining how cultural learning continues to influence teachers’ commitments to social justice in the months following the experience and throughout their careers.
