This book enriches the discourse around Global Citizenship
Education in teacher education through the example of a teacher's
experience in a Canada-China Sister School reciprocal learning
landscape. Instead of positioning global citizenship teaching and
learning as a set of fixed goals to be attained by teachers alone,
this book approaches global citizenship teaching and learning as
unfinished lifework in progress and as situated curriculum problems
to be inquired together by university researchers, school teachers,
and students under the spirit of reciprocity and community. This
reimagination of narratives, theory, and action start from
collaborative and reciprocal learning partnerships among Chinese
and Canadian researchers and teachers in the practicality of
re-searching and re-enacting the purpose and meanings of
twenty-first century education in a Canada-China Sister School
setting.

The body of literature has pointed to the benefits of educational
interventions in facilitating improvement in school motivation and,
by implication, learning and achievement. However, it is now
recognized that most extant motivation and learning enhancing
intervention programs are grounded in Western motivational and
learning perspectives, such as attribution, expectancy-value,
implicit theories of intelligence, self-determination, and
self-regulated learning theories. Further, empirical evidence for
the positive impacts of these interventions seems to have primarily
emerged from North American settings. The cross-cultural
transferability and translatability of such educational
interventions, however, are often assumed rather than critically
assessed and adapted before their implementation in other cultures.
In this volume, the editors invited scholars to reassess their
intervention work from a sociocultural lens. Regardless of the
different theoretical perspectives and strategies they adopt in
their interventions, these scholars are in unison on the importance
of taking into account sociodemographic backgrounds of the students
and sociocultural contexts of the interventions to optimize the
benefits of such interventions. Indeed, placing culture at the
heart of designing, implementing, and evaluating
educationalinterventions could be a key not only to strengthen the
effectiveness and efficacy of educational interventions, but also
to ensure that students of a wider and more diverse range of
educational and cultural backgrounds reap the benefits from such
interventions. This volume constitutes the foundation towards a
deeper and more systematic understanding of culturally relevant and
responsive educational interventions.
