1. Global Gateway secondary school curriculum provides teachers and students with essential attitudes, skills and knowledge needed for global citizenship by promoting understanding of the important roles and crucial responsibilities each have in addressing complex global issues. The curriculum, professional development modules and educator community are available through VIF’s online learning center.
1. Global Themes
Getting Started
with VIF’s Global Gateway Curriculum
Secondary School
Global Gateway curriculum is built on three primary components:
The curriculum is theme-based, addresses global issues and supports national standards. Definitions of global themes are below.
• Global Society explores the world’s people and examines similarities and differences between their cultures, languages, sports/leisure activities, religions, pop culture, cultural dimensions and intercultural communication.
• Global Geography studies the Earth and its people from physical, human and cultural perspectives. It examines the effect of geography on the distribution of people and resources, on world economies and on socio-cultural activities.
• Global Environment investigates global environmental challenges and possible solutions. Challenges include population growth, world health issues, agricultural production, water/sanitation, climate change and natural hazards.
• Global Education addresses issues that countries face in providing educational opportunities to their citizens. Explorations include global literacy issues, educational access/equity, education funding and the digital divide.
• Global Economy analyzes economic dependency between countries, their financial institutions, movement of goods and services, technological innovations and capital.
• Global Politics examines the impact of global political systems on everyday life and processes that countries use to make political decisions. Forms of government, voting and human rights, revolutions and conflict are investigated.
2. 2. Global COnnections i-iv
Global Connections represent graduated levels of complexity (from I to IV) with each level consisting of 18 units that can be taught as a course sequence.
3. Units
The building blocks of curriculum implementation are individual units which include resources needed to incorporate global concepts into classroom instruction. Each unit includes activities, resource lists, technology links, assessments and three project-based inquiry lesson plans. There are a total of 72 units in the curriculum, all of which align with Common Core State Standards, National Social Studies Standards, National Educational Technology Standards and Career Technical Education Standards.
Put the Global Gateway curriculum to work immediately:
• Supplemental integration: Access to Global Gateway allows teachers to supplement curriculum-based instruction in existing courses with online resources, activities and lessons infused with global content.
• Thematic integration: Each global theme consists of 11-14 units which may be taught in semester blocks. Globally themed units do include prerequisites and should be taught and studied in a specific sequence because of graduating levels of complexity. To help implement thematic integration effectively, VIF provides consultation to partnering schools.
• Global Connections integration: Global Connections I, II, III or IV may be offered as semester courses. Global Connections include 18 units at each level that progress in complexity.
• Selected unit integration: The flexibility of the curriculum also allows for selected units to be shaped into specific content- or issue-focused courses of study. Again, because of the graduating levels of complexity and prerequisites of some units, VIF will provide consultation to support effective implementation.
