Image FIRE, Volume 03, Issue 01 (2016): Teaching Comparative and International Education Comparative and International Education in Teacher Training Programs: The Case of North Park University in Chicago For decades, scholars have claimed the importance of implementing comparative and international education courses in teacher education programs.

The current article aims to describe how and why CIE became a required graduate level course within a teacher education program in Chicago. View Item
Image FIRE, Volume 03, Issue 01 (2016): Teaching Comparative and International Education Reflections on Building 'Glocal' Competence among Pre-Service and In-Service Teachers The purpose of this paper is to critically reflect on two graduate international comparative education courses I taught at a mid-sized public university. Using a variety of readings and multimedia focusing on voices of international educators telling their own stories of struggle for a democratic education, these courses represent my effort to raise a 'glocal' consciousness among pre-service and in-service educators.

Image FIRE, Volume 03, Issue 01 (2016): Teaching Comparative and International Education The Global Imperative for Teacher Education: Opportunities for Comparative and International Education In the context of globalization, teacher education has to respond to the global imperative by helping pre-service teachers develop global consciousness and awareness (Apple, 2011; Zhao, 2010). This paper addresses this imperative by first identifying the spaces for global competencies in teacher education standards at the national, regional, state, and institutional levels. View Item
