An essential guide to teaching and learning in international schools for pre- and in-service educators around the world. With more and more teachers working in international schools, this book provides a practical and accessible examination of effective pedagogy in this specific context. Using case studies that can be applied in a range of settings, it explores key areas of classroom practice such as collaboration and student agency, along with emergent approaches such as play-based, concept-based and enquiry-based teaching and learning. In addition, it gazes towards students' future needs, exploring themes such as new literacies and intercultural competence. "The thoughtful questions posed throughout the text have the potential to guide some important conversations and prompt positive, professional growth." Kath Murdoch, Seastar Education Consulting "This is a text that is much needed in national and international education." Malcolm Nicolson, Director Erimus Education "Modelling the power and value of collaboration, a cohort of very accomplished educators with international experience have united to share numerous practical examples to support effective teaching and learning." Dr Jennifer Chang Wathall, independent education consultant "...connects readers to new or different researchers beyond what is shared in IB publications, therefore widening the research base and highlighting new strategies to help educators keen to innovate in their practice." Sandy Paton, PYP Educator and independent consultant

Engaging with the topic of critical intercultural education at tertiary level, the book aims to strengthen what critical intercultural communication means and facilitate its implementation in higher education classrooms. With contributors coming from a variety of educational contexts and disciplines, the book provides a versatile and comprehensive picture of how intercultural communication can be approached in different fields. By offering a reflection on theoretical frameworks for teaching and learning critical intercultural communication, it bridges the gap between theory and practice in recent years. Furthermore, it proposes concrete pedagogical solutions that will help educators working at the tertiary level move from essentialist approaches to meaningful intercultural education. Higher education teachers, lecturers and professors responsible for the design and delivery of teaching on intercultural communication will find this book helpful and resourceful.

Differentiation is an approach to education in which every student's individuality and special needs are taken into account. Practical and accessible, HOW TO SUCCEED IN DIFFERENTIATION reveals the approach taken in the high-achieving Finnish education system, where the national curriculum obligates all teachers to differentiate their teaching from the get-go. The book is divided into four parts. Part I explains the background of Finnish education and differentiation in the Finnish context. Part II investigates the theoretical basis for differentiation and strives to offer new perspectives for the most common challenges of differentiation. In addition, Part II introduces the reader to the imaginary example students, whose problems are attempted to be solved later in the book. In Part III, differentiation is approached through the five-dimensional model of differentiation, which the authors have created and which, in their opinion, covers the most central areas of teaching, in which differentiation should be acknowledged. In Part IV, differentiation is exemplified in language and literature, mathematics and foreign languages.
