One of the ways that researchers have found to expand and inform global thinking about the impact of education is through international teaching experiences for students preparing to become teachers. "People have always been curious about the ways that societies acquire and use knowledge, the way that knowledge is translated into skills, the way that knowledge sustains and transforms societies, and the ways that children learn and are taught" (Association for Childhood Education International [ACEI], 2013, p. 1). Education diplomacy refers to cross-disciplinary, transnational sharing of ideas, theories, and concepts that advance education. This article addresses the effect of a short-term international teaching internship on American students' awareness of global diplomacy as it relates to the primary classroom.
