Description
This project explores my experience as a Black woman and Childhood Education major participating in the International Professional Development Schools (IPDS) program in Chile. Through classroom visits, cultural immersion, and reflective practice, I gained a deeper understanding of global education, equity, and the value of diverse learning environments. I also discovered how teaching abroad can expand culturally responsive pedagogy (Ladson-Billings, 1995) by highlighting the importance of connecting instruction to students’ cultural realities and advocating for equity in global contexts.
