Abstract

This retrospective, reflective, descriptive study involved three experienced literacy educators who travelled to Guatemala to conduct professional development workshops with preservice and in service teachers. The purpose of the research was for the educators to reflect on their own practice and to investigate the impact of this international teaching experience on their beliefs and practices about literacy education. The three separate voices of the researchers yielded new insights and emerged from their background perspectives, impressions from interactions with a range of Guatemalans involved in education, and their varied experiences in the international settings, which also included multiple school visits and teaching of Guatemalan students across the grade span.
