The concept of Third Culture Kids (TCKs), children who follow their globetrotting parents around the world, is not a new one and has been widely studied. However, there is one specific group of TCKs who have, until now, been largely ignored - EdKids, the children of international school educators. In this new work, Dr Ettie Zilber brings together all the material she has collected over many years of research on this unique group and allows them to voice their own opinions, feelings and stories for the first time. Spanning a long career in education, Dr Ettie Zilber has served at international schools and other educational centers in the US, Israel, Singapore, Spain, Guatemala and China, served on the boards of ECIS and AISH, presented and published on cross-cultural themes and served as an Adjunct Professor for Lehigh University and Endicott College, teaching courses in Comparative Education and Intercultural Communication.
Autorenporträt
Her birth in a D.P. camp in Germany marked Ettie Zilber with a special responsibility. Retirement from a career as an educator in international schools in six countries has given her the opportunity to fulfill that responsibility --to research and document her family's Holocaust experiences -- and reflect on their impact on the next generation. The author of Third Culture Kids: Children of International School Educators, and numerous professional publications, conducts workshops on cross-cultural sensitivity, international-mindedness, tolerance and global citizenship for youth and adults. She lives in Arizona with her husband, and enjoys visits with her children and grandchildren.
