The need for citizenship training in schools focused on the diversity of our world is greater than ever. Unfotunately most schools ignore the need for teaching their students about globalization. Link on to the article to read more about the need for global ciitizenship training in schools. I have also included a link to the IB-PYP site which explains the mission of the International Baccolarate Program. I miss the days when I worked at such a school and learned with the students about global issues. My students developed attitudes of collective responsibiliby, a love for the Earth, and an understanding that we are all interconnected in some way.

Liz,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. I agree so much that I blogged about the same thing. We do not spend enough time teaching students to be global thinkers. I know I was told what I did in class on Friday was cheezey but I do believe the song "We are the World", does fit this philosophy.
