Full Description
Borderless Education serves as a conduit between global and domestic diversity by bridging the gap between global and cultural competence.
This book builds on the work of scholars who have called for culturally relevant, responsive, and sustaining teaching and pedagogies in education. The goal of this text is to provide an intersectional global and culturally responsive teaching approach that offers futuristic possibilities of reimagining learning without borders. Opening the conversation for readers to consider dialogue, collaboration, and research between two fundamentally important pedagogical frameworks, that each have a long-standing legacy and impact in teacher education. In light of our educational ecosystem, now is a time for the convergence of these frameworks to fully incorporate the principles and practices of culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogy (CRSP) with the multifaceted elements of global competencies. The authors share a new globalized pedagogical framework that bridges the gap between CRSP and international teacher education.
The internationalization of the American classroom is here; thus, it is crucial that this book be part of the foundation of teacher candidate preparation. America's pluralistic society already exists. We have diverse, diasporic cultural spaces in our local communities, recognizing that local global competency is distinctly different from domestic cultural competency. We offer the critique that America's EPP global education is limited because it generally prepares teacher candidates to be observers, "saviors," and tourists, rather they should be compassionate and empathic allies that recognize and appreciate the necessity of a holistic global approach. There is a necessity for a comprehensive and integrative approach that includes global competencies which supports teachers candidates' development of an appreciation for diversity and sensitivity of all individuals within our local spaces as part of a larger cross-cultural environment.
Global awareness, social justice, diversity, and equitable practices are critical issues necessary for today's educators. This book encourages educators and practitioners to implement an intersectional globally and culturally responsive teaching approach that not only recognize but sustain students' cultural identities to enhance their academic achievement, increase their sense of belonging and inclusion in a pluralistic society, while raising their sociopolitical consciousness. This book is advantageous for readers searching for knowledge and strategies to support their application of a globalized pedagogy.
