AGIS Conference 2024 Potsdam

Who/What are Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and how can I support them in the classroom?
This session will provide an introduction to TCKs; their evolving identities, experiences and what it means to affirm them as individuals. Stories from TCKs will support our understanding of what it means for individuals who have experienced multiple transitions to feel a sense of belonging. Examples of identity-centered questions that TCKs find challenging to answer will be shared.

Ways educators can support TCKs in the classroom will be explored. We will look at how language informs our thinking and understanding of TCKs and their ways of knowing, understanding and making sense of the world.
