"This edited collection brings together perspectives from former and current teachers from across Canada to tackle the unique challenges surrounding educating for global awareness. The contributors discuss strategies for encouraging young people to cultivate a sense of agency and global responsibility. Reflecting on the educator’s experience, each chapter engages with critical questions surrounding teaching global citizenship, such as how to challenge systems of privilege and power, engage students at the local-global nexus, and respond to reverberations of colonialism. Based on narrative inquiry, the contributors convey their insights through stories from their classroom experiences, which take place in diverse educational settings: from Newfoundland to British Columbia to Nunavut, in rural and urban areas, and in public and private schools. Bridging field and academy, the chapters demonstrate how insights from teaching experience both inform and are informed by education theory and philosophy."-- Provided by publisher.
