GLOBAL EDUCATION
At Ciudadanomundial.com you will be able to access information and links to international, local, educational, and technology-based resources for making global competency accessible to yourself as an educator and to your students. You will also find a model unit plan, lessons, and examples of connections from common core standards to global standards as well as models for assessing global competence in your class, school, and district.
The information age ushered in an era of interconnectivity that is unprecedented in our history. As a result, global borders have been blurred and replaced with interactions between countries, people, businesses, and cultures. In order to function as a global citizen students must be prepared with the skills to engage in all of these scenarios. This requires levels of sensitivity, compassion, and understanding that can be developed through the acquisition of global competencies.
A model for developing these competencies includes "The Four Domains of Global Competence" which include: Investigate the World, Recognize Perspectives, Communicate Ideas, and Take Action. This model can serve as a roadmap for teaching and developing the necessary global competencies students should have to engage as global citizens.
This site is intended as a resource for educators as they prepare themselves for engaging students in the pursuit of Global Competence skills. Educating for Global Competence is important in our modern era as a means of engaging students in issues of global importance.
