ABSTRACT

As we mapped global flows from crayons to connections, we recognized the power we have as teachers, and we became ever more grateful to be teachers. Whatever currents brought us to the sacred spaces of each other’s classrooms caused us to embrace our collective calling more enthusiastically and to realize our collective potential to be transformed and transformative. Our work together continues to give testimony to the power of collective struggle and triumph through dialogue, sharing life stories, and sharing lifeworlds to build an increasingly committed, knowledgeable, and united teaching coalition. This coalition will shape our shared future in an increasingly complex, globalized, connected, transcultural world.
