To
everyone who is engaged in developing global citizenship directly through teaching
or indirectly
This time
the focus is on inspiring examples on how to incorporate global perspectives in
challenging ways of learning from kindergarten to highschool ( in US K-12).
Global Citizenship post 9/11, Episode : How Do They Do It
In The USA?
"9/11
was a wake-up call for global education in the US - a stark reminder that the
USA isn't isolated from the world. Now there's an impetus to change that
attitude. Twenty miles east of New York City, Herrick's School District is a
model for change, integrating a global perspective into virtually all subjects
and grade levels from elementary to high school. Here 10 year olds learn about
global politics and the world trade network. World languages are taught
alongside art and 15 year olds debate African economic policy, role-playing
being UN delegates" ( quote from introduction on youtube)
"The Global School. Connecting Classrooms and Students
Around the World"
is a new book by William Kist in which he elaborates "What is Global
Education.", "The World within Your Classroom", " The World
Across Classrooms", "The Classroom in the World" and "Getting
Started". The book is based on interviews with teachers, who are
innovators in this field. You are able to access all the links through

The 60
links are organized under "Guides for International Texts , International
English Language News Sources, Resources for Travel Research, Teacher-Prepared
Virtual Field Trips, Virtual Field Trips & Additional Resources". I specially recommend the following because
of the immanent learning potentials as well as the free and easy access:
