A Curriculum Model to Underpin Education for Sustainable DevelopmentESCalate
This is an enquiry-based model that addresses the cognitive, affective and action domains. It is illustrated by children in a Devon primary school who “identified a real issue that concerned them”.
Social Justice and the Ontario Social Studies CurriculumStan Hallman-Chong
This is the powerpoint that introduced some of the issues around the renewal of the Ontario Social Studies curriculum. For over a decade the curriculum has tried undergone many changes, sometimes encouraging the development of social responsibilities and sometimes not. Currently, we can decide whether we should focus on social justice or not. Either way we must enter a discussion of why and how.

EDUCATING FOR
GLOBAL
COMPETENCE
Group 1
● Global competence is the ability to understand and act on global issues.
● Globalization, the accelerating traffic of goods, ideas, people, and capital around the world, has
changed the face of labor. (Coatsworth, 2004). Understanding changing economies in a multipolar
world is critical to youth if they are to participate thoughtfully in the economies of tomorrow.
● Jobs that demand expert thinking and complex communication will remain in growing demand in
the world over.
● Schools now bear a new fundamental responsibility: to prepare students for difference and
complexity in the world they live in. Emergence of initiatives to foster international understanding
in school curricula has brought attention to the importance of global competence.
WHAT IS GLOBAL COMPETENCE?
● Globally Competent Students:
○ Investigate the world beyond their immediate environment.
○ Recognize perspectives of others and their own.
○ Communicate ideas effectively with diverse audiences.
○ Take action to improve conditions
● Applying knowledge to real life situations makes understanding deeper. This helps shape the perspectives that form part of
global competency in students.
● Weigh and integrate evidence from varied sources to create coherent responses and draw defensible conclusions.
● Hanvey’s Five Dimensions on Global Competence are being incorporated around the world in schools. It is one way to delineate
the steps to create globally competent citizens. The accepted definition on global competence is from the Task Force on
Global Competence.

Students have a responsibility
to be good stewards of Earth.
It’s important to adapt to
climate change and be aware
and take action to combat the
effects of global warming on
Earth, since it affects every
human currently living and
future generations.

Students need to know
how to live in diverse
societies. All educators
have the responsibility to
help students learn global
competence across all
subject areas.

It would be beneficial for
students to have
knowledge about other
countries and cultures, to
think creatively and to use
systems thinking, and to
know more than one
language.

GLOBAL COMPETENCY IN ACTION
“Educators are expected to teach core sets of concepts
and skills that curriculum experts at national, regional, and
local levels deem essential. Preparing youth for the work of
their generation involves revisiting such core concepts and
skills and putting them to the service of a deeper, better,
and more participatory understanding of the world in which
we live. Nurturing students’ global competence enables
education leaders to examine how engaging crucial global
issues can catalyze learning of this core content and how
learning such content c ...
