This open-access book seeks to dismantle entrenched hegemonically-induced hindrances and barriers to internationally acquired teaching competencies' recognition processes. In the face of migration movements, teacher education must be reimagined to become a global concern, as curricula in teacher education, like school curricula, remain strongly affirmative of localized traditions and styles of reasoning. The book's contributions span diverse aspects of how the concept of what constitutes a teacher is being reframed, encompassing theoretical foundations of perceptions of the teaching profession and concrete analyses of measures to integrate internationally trained teachers into systems or make them part of them. Chapters delve into how non-local teachers navigate and are treated, highlighting what impedes their successful re-entry and how other non- or differently-trained personnel receive preferential treatment. Other contributions focus on strategies teachers employ to address the growing diversity among students.
