How do we help students work effectively with others from diverse cultural backgrounds? How do we help them understand the world? How do we prepare them for work and life in an era of globalization, volatility, and uncertainty? Empowering Global Citizens offers educators and parents compelling answers to those questions.

This book presents The World Course, a curriculum on global citizenship education designed to equip students with the competencies they need to thrive and contribute to sustainable development in an era of globalization. Drawing on curriculum mapping this book offers a coherent and rigorous set of instructional units to support deep learning of twenty-first-century competencies that develop agency, imagination, confidence, and the skills to navigate the complexity of our times.

Drawing on a rich conceptual framework of global education, The World Course scaffolds the development of global competency drawing on project-based learning and other pedagogies that support personalization. The course expands children’s horizons, helping them understand the world in which they live in all its complexity from kindergarten to high school. This is done through learning activities at the zone for proximal development for each age group, with activities that foster student agency and a growth mindset.

Do you know what the UN Sustainable Development Goals are? If not, I would become familiar with them.

Global citizenship education is therefore a journey more than a destination as we are always in the process of becoming global citizens. This is the profound conclusion statement that sums up this book and will stick with you for the rest of your life. Why you may ask? Well, I know you may think that what goes on in the world doesn't concern you, but actually lots of it does. Do live in the present and make the choice to live in a proactive positive manner.

A welcome addition to the classroom! Teaching with a global perspective is clearly outlined in this K-12 curriculum.

and neoliberal approaches to education that move us away from the core mission of public education as the great equalizer.

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

While an extremely helpful starting place for educators interested in experiential approaches to teaching global perspectives, this book misses an opportunity to address social justice and equity thereby perpetuating an image that global citizenship is for the unknowing carriers of the white man's burden, and neoliberal approaches to education that move us away from the core mission of public education as the great equalizer.
