Global Source's 2006 Summer Retreat
on Elementary & Secondary Education
Citizenship
in a Global Age:
A Pacific Northwest Perspective
July
12-14, 2006
To
seek a vision of education that brings together the
need for wide-awakeness
with the hunger for community, the desire to know with the
wish to understand,
the desire to feel with the passion to see.
- Maxine Greene , The Dialectic of Freedom
The school itself shall be made a genuine form of active community
life,
instead of place set apart in which to learn lessons.
- John Dewey, The School and Society
By far, the better lessons in democracy would be had by systematic
inquiry
into the conditions of inequality, injustice, and exclusive
privilege
that undermine attempts at strong democracy
in any locale or at any level of contemporary society.
- Ed Mikel, Cultures of Curriculum
Social studies in Washington State contributes to developing
responsible citizens
in a culturally diverse, democratic society within an interdependent
world.

Reading Recommendations From Retreat Participants
(T.B.)
I'm presently reading a great book about global issues. It
is High Noon by J.F. Rischard. When my brain can take it,
I'm
also discovering a classic - Orientalism by Edward Said. While
not particularly about global citizenship, it traces the history
of how Western citizens came to have such absurd misunderstanding
about Muslim citizens.
(S.D.)
A great read aloud with students: "Seedfolks" (Joanna
Colter Books) by Paul Fleischman and Judy Pedersen.
Also,
I just found "Turning to one another: simple conversations
to restore hope to the future" by Margaret J. Wheatley,
and I am interested in more information about her and the
dialogs she advocates.
