7. We have urgent problems that need to

PREPARE STUDENTS?

24. Edutopia
February/March 2008
http://www.edutopia.org/sage-advice-world-citizens
24Thursday, January 26, 12

25. 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.
25Thursday, January 26, 12

26. 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.
26Thursday, January 26, 12

27. 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 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.
27Thursday, January 26, 12

28. Prepare students to be citizens of the world by
being one yourself. Teach from a global
perspective.
