Details:
Teacher preparation programs that have been comprehensively internationalized ensure that the following actions occur:
- General education coursework helps each prospective teacher to develop deep knowledge of at least one world region, culture, or global issue, and facility in one language in addition to English.
- Professional education courses teach the pedagogical skills to enable future teachers to teach the global dimensions of their subject matter.
- Field experiences for faculty and students support the development of pre–service teachers’ global perspectives and contribute the broader research base of the aligned strategic plan.
- More teachers are prepared to teach less commonly taught languages and language education pedagogy is updated based on current research and best practice.
- There are incentives, not barriers, to faculty at all levels engaging in this work.
