If you have been following the podcast from the very first episode then you heard me mention how one of my dream guests was my former high school principal and IB Extended Essay advisor, the absolutely incredible Joyce Halsey. Joyce is a career educator and has worked in various different positions and iterations of working with international school. In this episode we talk about: * the contrast in teaching at a local public school in Missouri vs. moving to international schools * the "bubble" on international schools * the effect, both positive of negative of having dominant English-speaking countries shaping the education in cultures that are not their own * the responsibility of educators in navigating cultural sensitivity and leaving the "bubble" themselves * the culture shock of moving from an international community to a monocultural environment * the behind-the-scenes of what goes on at International Schools Follow Jessica on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thejessicasoares/] Follow Borderless on Facebook [https://web.facebook.com/Borderless-The-Podcast-104815267975490] Follow Borderless on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/borderlessthepodcast/]
