Binational Border Pedagogy Collaborative
The Binational Border Pedagogy Collaborative has created many scholarly opportunities for understanding how globalized K-12 classrooms in the San Diego-Tijuana border region operate. The Annual Binational Border Pedagogy Conferences are opportunities for how educators to understand how to best promote student success and institutional transformation that supports the complexity and strengths of such a region. Click here to see an overview of the interaction that 5th Border Pedagogy Conference participants enjoyed with one another and with K-12 educators at local best practices sites.
The 6th Border Pedagogy Conference, October 26-28, will move some of the 21 Tijuana school site educators and stakeholders, teacher educators and graduate students into formal, year-long, action research projects. The generous involvement of the University of San Diego’s Center for Student Support Services (CS3) graduate students and faculty will bring CS3’s nationally respected expertise to further support the growth of binational K-12 action research studies. It is our expectation that counseling and teacher education master’s students from both sides of the border will be involved in action research this 2006-07 academic year, which will be presented at the combined International Council of Education for Teachers (ICET)- 7th Annual Binational Border Pedagogy Conference in the summer, 2007, hosted by the University of San Diego.
