Abstract
The PISA 2018 assessment of global competence will report the extent that students are prepared for today’s global economy and multicultural societies. Teacher education and professional development must be transformed to develop cross-cultural competence that prepares teachers and then their students for our globalized society. Research presented here demonstrates the importance of global fieldwork for education students and teachers to develop cultural competency. Using the framework developed by the OECD, and by collecting data at multiple sites and from both hosts and participants, this study demonstrates that cultural competence can be developed during a short term education abroad experience. Moreover, this study demonstrates the possibility of establishing sustained global engagement for teacher participants. Finally, this research shows that teachers learn how to sustain professional connections in a fluid global context. Such sustained collaboration is essential to society’s future possibilities of meeting global challenges.
