Teaching Across the Borders: A Special Education Teacher's Journey from the Philippines to the United States Classroom is a heartfelt memoir of resilience, sacrifice, and purpose.
In this inspiring journey, Dr. Vevian D. Salahid shares her experiences as an educator leaving the Philippines to pursue her calling in the United States educational system. Through cultural transitions, professional challenges, homesickness, and the demanding realities of special education, she reflects on the emotional and personal journey behind teaching across countries and classrooms.
More than a story about migration and teaching, this memoir reveals the strength required to adapt, serve, and continue believing in the power of inclusion and education. From childhood memories and early teaching experiences to becoming a trainer, speaker, and advocate for diverse learners, Dr. Salahid offers an honest glimpse into the heart of an immigrant educator.
This book is for teachers, aspiring educators, immigrant professionals, and anyone who believes that education can transform lives across borders, cultures, and generations.
A story of courage. A story of resilience. A story of teaching beyond borders.
