    Hi Lucy - it’s exciting to see your work shared here. We have been working on promoting global / international education for a number of years at the Asia Society and have developed the International Studies Schools Network which works nationally in urban, underserved communities in partnership with school districts to implement a school design that prepares students to be college ready and globally competent. We have a new school opening in Chicago Public Schools - the Ogden International High School - in Fall 2009. We also have the Partnership for Global Learning (www.asiasociety.org/PGL ) which is a membership organization that brings together practitioners and policy makers who want to infuse global knowledge and skills into teaching and learning. Please think about joining us for our conference in July in D.C. and connecting your work with our work! (from Shari Albright, COO, Asia Society International Studies Schools Network)

  13. How do you prepare your students to be citizens of the world? Friday, February 29, 2008 13
  14. Edutopia February/March 2008 http://www.edutopia.org/sage-advice-world-citizens Friday, February 29, 2008 14
  15. First you help them define the term “citizen of the world”. Then you help them learn what being a good citizen means -- to themselves, to loved ones and family, to the school community, to the surrounding community. One’s actions can be directly linked to one’s values (beliefs, feelings, and actions that are important to us), so starting with a basic understanding of one’s values is essential to any meaningful discussions on citizenship. The global context is meaningless unless students are good citizens of their own nation. Friday, February 29, 2008 15
  16. Right before our eyes, all that the education sector has controlled, dismissed, manipulated, validated, embellished, fictionalized, and ranked within an aura of tradition and ritual may be accessed by point- and-click. We need to stop chasing exponentially expanding content. Inquiry, problem recognition and solution, creativity, knowing one’s strengths and weaknesses, communication, and relationships are what students must be prepared for. Friday, February 29, 2008 16
  17. Becoming a world citizen requires knowledge and experience of other cultures; U.S. schools do not provide knowledge or experience. Rather, they provide a cursory glimpse of others cultures; U.S. Schools do not provide knowledge or experience. Rather, they provide a cursory glimpse of others in order to exemplify how not to be American. “Diversity Day” does not create world citizens, it patronizes cultural difference and touts xenophobia, and always winds up pandering American culture as Eurocentrically defined. Only travel and immersion in other cultures creates world citizens. Friday, February 29, 2008 17
  18. Prepare students to be citizens of the world by being one yourself. Teach from a global perspective. Friday, February 29, 2008 18
