Program
Overview:
Summer
is a time for educators to reflect on the year behind them,
refresh themselves, and find inspiration for the school year
ahead. In this spirit, Global Source invites you to join us
for three days of professional learning about how citizenship
education can strengthen what all teachers already feel responsible
for in their curriculum and schools.
Educating
young people in the 21st century involves helping them bear
witness to contemporary world issues facing humanity and the
planet and fostering responsible citizenship in a world of
unprecedented interdependence, challenge, and possibility.
Threaded
throughout this three-day professional learning experience
on education for responsible citizenship will be pedagogical
and curricular considerations that have framed our programs
in 2005-6:
- Engaging
in lively and critical professional dialogue and stories
with a broad range of voices
- Exploring
curriculum making that raises awareness, builds knowledge
and fosters engagement
- Building
stronger bridges between classroom and community through
our teaching and learning
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.
