Re-connective Internationalism: Using the IB Middle Years Programme's Internationalism to Reach Latino Youth

Room: Colorado

presented by James C. Jupp, MYP Coordinator, Martin Middle School
Marisela Morin, Spanish Teacher, Martin Middle School

This presentation articulates how the IB Middle Years Programme international component re-connects Latino youth with their parent cultures. This presentation highlights practical narratives of culturally relevant practice using the MYP's international and intercultural education with particular reference to serving inner-city Latino youth in Austin, Texas. These practical narratives provide a unique contribution to the MYP by showing, in detail, what international and intercultural education looks like with poor, inner-city, Latino students.
