This book provides a critical review of the impact of international academics on teaching practices in higher education. As borders and boundaries become increasingly blurred and virtual citizenship starts to impact on ways of working, being able to teach seamlessly across cultures and political divides will be critical to ensuring a thriving higher education sector. This book captures the impact of academic mobility on teaching practices which have been informed by academics' original cultures being modified to align with those of a host culture. The book comprises three thematic sections which take the reader through the various stages of the internationalisation of higher education teaching practice. It starts with how teaching identities are constructed and influenced by culture and geopolitical factors and concludes with an exploration into the emergence of the global teaching practitioner who is able to work seamlessly across borders and boundaries. The core sections include: i) the geopolitics of teaching identities, ii) a sense of belonging and the lived experience of the academic nomad and iii) academic transition, from migration to integration.Providing practical tools for improving both students' learning experiences and academics' classroom practices this volume will be of use to researchers, students, and practitioners from the social sciences (specially business, management, and education) as well as foreign language tutors and TEFL practitioners. Human resource professionals, recruiters, and trainers responsible for recruiting, training, and developing international higher education staff will also find this book to be of interest.

This book reflects a range of pedagogical responses to increasingly complex educational contexts. It finds this complexity in the interplay of a number of factors, including the diverse histories and identities of educational actors; institutional and systemic demands and constraints; competing conceptions of valued knowledge; and technological change. The chapters show the demand for pedagogical response to unexpected and unprecedented events (like COVID-19) and the importance of addressing barriers to access that become sedimented into institutional cultures. The authors, mostly from Global South contexts, are concerned with enabling educational access and inclusion in the face of competing global and local demands. They present new knowledge about pedagogical approaches that are relevant and effective in uncertain times and challenging places. Together, the contributors offer accounts of hope-full and innovative practice and conceptually rigorous engagement with fundamental issues of learning and teaching.

This unique book starts from the premise that students, scholars, and educators should be given access to a form of global education that is genuinely global. Using the notion of interculturality as change and exchange as a basis, the authors examine fifty discourse instruments (e.g. idioms, neologisms, slogans) related to what they call 'Chinese stories of interculturality'. China, like other countries, has a rich and complex history of intercultural encounters and her engagement with the notion today, which shares similarities and differences with glocal discourses of interculturality, deserves to be unpacked and familiarized with. By so doing, digging into the intricacies of the Chinese and English languages, the reader is empowered to unthink, rethink and especially reflect on their own take on the important notion of interculturality.

Co-teaching er en forskningsbaseret, systematisk og målrettet måde at samarbejde på til gavn for både lærere og elever. Det er således noget andet og meget mere end de tolærerordninger, der er udbredte i den danske folkeskole. Fra en, til to, til co-teaching forklarer hvorfor og hvordan. Det er både en bog om teorierne og forskningen bag begrebet co-teaching og en praktisk håndbog til, hvordan man helt konkret griber co-teaching an. Det gør den unik i en dansk sammenhæng. De to forfattere har gennem en årrække arbejdet systematisk med co-teaching i Gladsaxe Kommune, og de har flere gange besøgt skoler i USA for at få den nyeste viden om emnet og blive inspireret til at videreudvikle metoden og tilpasse den en dansk skolepraksis. Bogen er en guldgrube af konkrete værktøjer, gode råd, refleksioner, vigtige opmærksomhedspunkter, udfordringer og eksempler på, hvordan man bedst kan udvikle inkluderende læringsmiljøer ved at bruge co-teaching som samarbejdsform.

The neglect of faith and religious diversity within educational practices poses a significant challenge in fostering inclusive learning environments. The current educational landscape often overlooks the profound impact of religion on individuals' identities and beliefs, leading to a lack of understanding and appreciation for diverse faith perspectives. This omission limits the potential for meaningful dialogue and hinders the development of equitable educational spaces. The Role of Faith and Religious Diversity in Educational Practices , edited by Jason DeHart, offers a compelling solution to address this critical issue. This transformative book explores the intersections between faith and educational practices, drawing on research-based narratives and studies to illuminate the implications of policy and practice through a faith-based lens. By embracing a broad definition of religion and faith, it fosters diverse perspectives and encourages critical reflection on the importance of religious diversity in education. Through practical insights and evidence-based guidance, this book empowers researchers and educators to create inclusive spaces for faith-related discussions and develop policies that honor and respect religious identities. By engaging with this book, scholars and educators can take tangible steps toward cultivating inclusive and enriching learning environments that value and celebrate the diverse religious perspectives of all students.

Culture refers to the beliefs, practices, values, accomplishments and languages of a group of individuals. Culturally responsive teaching (CRT) entails the utilization of characteristics, customs, opinions and experiences of students as instruments for better classroom learning. CRT takes into account the cultural backgrounds along with lived experiences of students in order to assist them in learning. It is a method that emphasizes on the inclusion of students[ cultural references into all elements of the learning process. Some of the important components of CRT include culturally appropriate curricula, awareness for varied communication styles, a strong knowledge base concerning cultural diversity, and the utilization of multicultural instructional examples. Culturally responsive practices may have significant advantages such as the promotion of inclusivity and equity in the classroom, improved engagement with the course material, strengthened sense of identity and promotion of critical thinking in the students. This book outlines the processes and applications of culturally responsive teaching and learning in detail. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.
