GLOBAL LEARNING is....
Not another subject, rather skills and understandings that run through
every subject.
Learning about people and cultures locally and globally
Making links between local and global issues
Cooperation, communication,
critical thinking
Enabling students to examine their values, attitudes, and perceptions
Open-mindedness to listen to different voices.
Creating an interest in
social matters and
human rights issues
Respect, concern, and responsibility for the environment
Knowing that equality is not sameness but fairness
Exploring the interdependence between nations; what links us together, what divides us.
Promoting social justice
We take action by being inquisitive; asking and answering essential questions, evaluating and organizing that research, communicating ideas and opinions; and putting those ideas, creatively, to work. By exploring our community, collaborating with peers and community partners, and flattening our classrooms by using technology to collaborate with the world. Got collaboration? Community partnerships? Resources? Ideas? Please connect with me. tomhyatt@aveson.org
