This book explores the emerging and under-researched phenomenon of
internationalised schooling in China. It focuses on a group of
"accidental" teachers who fell into teaching through happenstance
or necessity, a group of teachers increasingly seeking refuge in
Chinese Internationalised Schools. Chinese Internationalised
Schools cater to an affluent middle class in China, offering some
form of international curriculum which is taught by host country
Chinese nationals and expatriate teachers. Chapters focus on three
dimensions of teachers' lived experiences of working in these
schools: the intercultural, which explores teachers' negotiations
of intercultural teacher identities; the precarious, which
highlights the struggles they might face at work; and the
resilient, which illustrates how teachers survive-and even
thrive-in the position. The author identifies a complex interplay
between surviving and thriving, giving rise to the concept of
"sur-thrival."
