Strengthening the Internationalization of Teacher Education through Education for Sustainable Development
Higher education teacher education aims to equip future teachers with the skills needed to facilitate competent engagement among students in an increasingly globalized world. Due to a narrow, national perspective on the education system in Germany, teacher education has to a large extent remained domestically focused. This is evident in the low percentage of student teachers planning to engage in international experiences. Against this background, in what follows we examine how Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) can be integrated into teacher education in higher education and contribute to shifting the professional mindset of student teachers towards an international outlook on teaching and learning in schools. This, we will outline and also discuss possibilities for incorporating international perspectives into teacher education to broaden teacher education students' views on global crises and sustainable development in education.
