International Baccalaureate. The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is a school model and curriculum framework intended to promote education for global citizenship. It is based on a 1948 United Nations Educational, Cultural, and Scientific Organization (UNESCO) document, and a 1968, organization known as the International Baccalaureate Organization, which supports and certifies schools offering the IB program today. Limited English proficient students. Sometimes used interchangeably with the term English Language Learner, a limited English proficient (LEP) student has a limited ability to interact in written and spoken English. Refugees, as defined by the United Nations, are persons who "owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country…" (UNHCR, 2009, para. 1). Transnationalism. Throughout human history, people have crossed and re-crossed political boundaries for migration and commerce. The current era of globalization, however, is marked by a rapid increase in the speed and frequency of this global exchange of goods, people, and ideas (Pieterse, 2009). Transnationalism refers to the ensuing frequent engagement of many communities united by ethnic and familial ties in economic, political, cultural, religious, and social activities across national boundaries (Portes, Guarnizo & Xxxxxxx, 1999; Vertovec, 1999). Transnationalism has multiple consequences for the concept of citizenship (Castles, 2004). An individual with ties across different nation-states may hold legal citizenship, engage in commerce, and express attachment to different nations. In this study, I use the concepts of transnationalism and transnational citizenship to describe moments that teachers and students recognize belonging to multiple communities or nation-states. For example, when refugee students follow news stories in both their country of origin and their country of habitation, they are engaging in transnational citizenship practice.
