cross-cultural ece: cross-cultural role plays, case studies, and job simulations

This book contains cross-cultural classroom activities for university students in courses such as Early Childhood Education or Educational Leadership. Activities include role-plays, case studies, and job simulations that center on cross-cultural issues encountered when working as a teacher or principal in a foreign country. Course instructors can assign the book to students as a required, supplemental text and utilize the content for in-class discussions and experiential activities. A YouTube channel provides short video animations to complement the book’s content. Links and QR codes to the videos are placed throughout the book. Instructors can simply play the videos in class and then engage students in a class discussion or small group exercise. There are also Action Plan forms, Research Investigation worksheets, and Self-Reflection exercises. The book is based on Dr. Cornell’s experience working in Asia as a classroom teacher, kindergarten principal and consultant for more than 12 years.
