Teaching Third Culture Children

Course Overview

This focused 90-minute workshop is designed for Nursery and Primary educators working with Third Culture Children (TCCs) in international and multicultural settings. Participants will explore practical strategies to better understand and support the identity, transition patterns, and emotional landscapes of TCCs; implement end-of-year tools that strengthen self-esteem, belonging, and celebration of growth; and provide families with ready-to-share summer engagement strategies that foster connection, literacy, identity development, and emotional well-being beyond the classroom.
