Abstract | Highlights pitfalls and successes in a cooperative curriculum and teacher-development project involving U.S. and Brazilian educators. Difficulties arose, due to differing conceptions of community and individualism as related to disabled persons' equal-education rights. Challenging Brazil's hierarchically based social prescriptions resulted in frustration and resistance from participants. Cultural distinctions and context effects cannot be ignored in international cooperation efforts. (18 references) (MLH) |
