This goal has important implications for how we not only educate today's students, but also how we prepare teachers to teach in a diverse and complex world in which habits of perspective, inquiry, imagination, empathy, communication, commitment, humility, integrity, and judgment increasingly resonate in importance. This book advocates for preparing teacher candidates to acquire a nuanced, global perspective of their subject areas and be prepared to handle the demands of educating students for our changing global context. To this end, Promoting Global Competence and Social Justice in Teacher Education encourages the development of pedagogical strategies that will enable students to consider multiple perspectives and cultivate respect for diverse peoples and cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Schwarzer and Beatrice L. Bridglall’s Promoting Global Competence and Social Justice in Teacher Education: Successes and Challenges within Local and International Contexts provides insights and ideas on how to globalize teacher education through experiential learning in a variety of contexts and resources. Nowhere else have I seen so many diverse strategies and points of view on global education pedagogy and experiential learning. This book is essential reading for teacher educators who are seeking to provide the experiences and knowledge needed to prepare preservice and inservice teachers for our increasingly complex and interdependent world. -- Merry Merryfield, Ohio State University\u003cbr\u003eDavid Schwarzer and Beatrice Bridglall have compiled a rich collection of insightful contributions that demonstrate both the benefits of, and practical strategies for, internationalization of teacher education. Many American teachers graduate from education departments with surprisingly little knowledge of America’s role in the world. This book describes several pioneering programs that help to alleviate this problem through innovative approaches to transformative, experiential learning. In these times when the power of unrestrained corporations, militarism, and mass surveillance threaten democracy and human rights, there is a pressing need for such a book that inspires an empathetic, global perspective among teacher educators. -- David G. Hebert, Bergen University College\u003cbr\u003eThis volume provides an interesting and informative collection of efforts by U.S. teacher educators to educate teachers to be globally competent in ways where their teaching will support the reduction of the oppression and inequities that exist in the U.S. and throughout the world. The lack of internationalization in U.S. teacher education programs is a major problem. This volume makes an important contribution to helping us see how we can begin to address it. -- Ken Zeichner, Boeing Professor of Teacher Education, University of Washington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Internationalizing Teacher Education: Successes and Challenges within Domestic and International Contexts David Schwarzer and Beatrice L.
