Produktbeschreibung

This edited volume explores the power of educators' work-integrated learning experiences as transformative narratives, transcending classroom boundaries. Through critical reflection and storytelling, teachers share their personal journeys across diverse cultural contexts, offering fine-grained descriptions of their growth and development.

Drawing on the belief that storytelling serves as a meeting ground for culture, cognition, and emotions, educators narrate their encounters and immerse readers in "glocal" realms. This book celebrates the immersion and excursion stories that shape educators' lived experiences and personal histories, illuminating how this knowledge can inspire highly impactful classroom practices for all students.

This volume is intended for in-service and pre-service educators, teacher educators, school administrators, as well as undergraduate and graduate students in Social Sciences and Humanities. Its primary goal is to delve into educators' stories as they engage in work integrated learning programs across diverse global-local contexts.
