Abstract
Teachers and teacher educators play increasingly important roles in creating successful futures for both individuals and society in light of globalization, increasing diversity, and growing interdependency. Within the dialectic of global and local, opportunities now for transformational learning, fostering social justice and global citizenship are unprecedented. However, global citizenship education (GCE) that explores different conceptual, theoretical, and methodological considerations of decolonizing citizenship education in practice remains a challenge for teachers. Thus, this paper describes pedagogies of GCE within pre-service teacher education classes and high schools in Japan. Furthermore, transcultural stories of several teachers are shared. The research reported here is based on over two decades of experience as a teacher educator in Canada and Japan. There is a paucity of long-term research on teachers’ reflections and experiences as they attempt to integrate GCE into their teaching, captured through personal narrative and story. Furthermore, due to a Western hegemony of knowledge, Eurocentric education, neo-colonialism, and neoliberal/conservative agendas in higher education, the voices of others outside North America are rarely heard. The research presented here attempts to fill this gap. This paper investigates these issues and teachers’ personal practical and professional knowledge through narratives of transcultural journeys.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
