The number of schools that call themselves international is growing
exponentially. In addition many other schools are exploring the
concept of international-mindedness and what that might mean in the
contemporary world of globalisation. This book sets out to provide
a critical perspective on current issues facing 'international
schooling', particularly the conflict between 'internationalising'
and 'globalising' tendencies and to explore these as they affect
teaching and learning, curriculum, pedagogy and assessment as well
as to explore the contribution international schools might make to
the achievement of global citizenship. It is the first book to
critically analyse the ambiguities, tensions and conflicts that
face those involved with and researching, international schools and
their role in global networking. Issues addressed include: the
political economy of international schools (Hugh Lauder and Ceri
Brown) their relations to global and local cultures, global markets
and civil society (Richard Bates) the role of international schools
in global networking (Michael Wylie) the micropolitics of such
schools (Richard Caffyn) the growth complexity and challenges
facing the International Baccalaureate (Tristan Bunnell) the future
demands for and of teachers in international schools (Mary Hayden
and Jeff Thompson) the nature of teaching and learning in
international schools (Helen Fail) the problematic idea of an
international curriculum (Jim Cambridge) issues facing
international assessment (Richard Bates) the challenge of education
for global citizenship (Harriet Marshall). This provocative book
will be essential reading for those teaching in, leading and
governing international schools in countries around the world, as
well as those who contemplating entering the rapidly expanding
world of international schooling.
