"This book sets out to provide a critical perspective on current issues facing 'international schooling', particularly the conflict between 'internationalising' and 'globalising' tendencies and to explore these as they affect teaching and learning, curriculum, pedagogy and assessment as well as to explore the contribution international schools might make to the achievement of global citizenship. It is the first book to critically analyse the ambiguities, tensions and conflicts that face those involved with, and researching, international schools and their role in global networking. Issues addressed include.

This book will be essential reading for those teaching in, leading and governing international schools in countries around the world, as well as those who are contemplating entering the rapidly expanding world of international schooling."--Jacket.
