I really enjoyed presenting at the American International Schools in the Americas (AMISA) conference this week hosted by The American School of Asuncion. I spent quite a few months reading a lot of research and books about this idea of global kids that move around a lot. It's quite a nuanced concept with a lot of layers. One of the layers is multiculturalism versus internationalism. Are we, as adults working in international schools, preparing students to be in a global world for their own economic benefit? -OR- Are we preparing them to be globally minded citizens who promote important values that the world needs? This article was an important point in analyzing this concept from the view of school mission statements. (Negotiating the tensions: A critical study of international schools’ mission statements by Tiago Bittencourt and Alexandra Willetts) It's an interesting reflection point. Are we encouraging students to speak multiple languages to get a better job? Or are we encouraging them to speak multiple languages so they can commute effectively with different groups of people? I'll probably be talking about this a lot so stay tuned....🙂
