When winter comes to town and the cold wind starts to blow Christmas is not far away. There are lots of things to do and for some, a frantic last minute rush on Christmas Eve to get those presents wrapped and put under the tree. There are many wraps or raps that can be done "The Christmas Wrap Rap" will tell you some. Young children can enjoy listening to the audio of The Christmas Wrap Rap or can read the book or better yet, they can have fun and do the Christmas Wrap Rap themselves. Adults will like this rap too.

The Christmas Wrap Rap

This is the first book on global teachers and the increasingly important phenomenon of ‘brain circulation’ in the global teaching profession. A teaching qualification is a passport to an international professional career: the global teacher is found in more and more classrooms around the world today. It is a two-way movement. This book looks at the growing importance of immigrant teachers in western countries today and at teachers who exit from western countries (emigrant teachers) seeking teaching experience in other countries. Drawing on the international literature in Europe, North America, Asia and elsewhere supplemented by rich insights derived from recent Australian research, the book outlines the personal, institutional and structural processes nationally and internationally underlying the increasing global circulation of teachers. It identifies the key drivers of global teacher mobility: a range of factors including family, lifestyle, classroom experience, travel, opportunities for advancement, discipline, linguistic skills, taxation rates, cultural factors and institutional frameworks and policy support. The book is the first detailed contemporary account of the experiences of Australian immigrant and emigrant teachers in the schools and communities where they teach and live. It makes an important and original theoretical and empirical contribution to the contemporary fields of sociology of education and immigration studies.
