Conclusion
David Schwarzer and Beatrice L. Bridglall
David Schwarzer and Beatrice L. Bridglall’s Promoting Global Competence and Social Justice in Teacher Education: Successes and Challenges within Local and International Contexts provides insights and ideas on how to globalize teacher education through experiential learning in a variety of contexts and resources. Nowhere else have I seen so many diverse strategies and points of view on global education pedagogy and experiential learning. This book is essential reading for teacher educators who are seeking to provide the experiences and knowledge needed to prepare preservice and inservice teachers for our increasingly complex and interdependent world.

David Schwarzer and Beatrice Bridglall have compiled a rich collection of insightful contributions that demonstrate both the benefits of, and practical strategies for, internationalization of teacher education. Many American teachers graduate from education departments with surprisingly little knowledge of America’s role in the world. This book describes several pioneering programs that help to alleviate this problem through innovative approaches to transformative, experiential learning. In these times when the power of unrestrained corporations, militarism, and mass surveillance threaten democracy and human rights, there is a pressing need for such a book that inspires an empathetic, global perspective among teacher educators.

This volume provides an interesting and informative collection of efforts by U.S. teacher educators to educate teachers to be globally competent in ways where their teaching will support the reduction of the oppression and inequities that exist in the U.S. and throughout the world. The lack of internationalization in U.S. teacher education programs is a major problem. This volume makes an important contribution to helping us see how we can begin to address it.
