Perhaps you’re already encountering this phenomenon in the field…global immersion teachers in U.S. K-12 schools? If so, I’d be interested in your experience supervising an international teacher. If not, it’s something I’ve been keeping my eye on for a couple of years.
It’s interesting to me because I wonder how administrators learn the cultural aspects of onboarding and supervising teachers who have little (no?) concept of how education is delivered in the U.S. (assessments, parent-teacher conferences, PLCs, matters of discipline, SpED, RTI, etc) I mean, if we’re still teaching cultural competency to U.S. teachers about international students, how likely is it that U.S. administrators are culturally competent about supervising international teachers?
