What:
A five-day Institute for K-12 educators to focus on teaching
globalization issues across disciplines
Explore
the study of Globalization and social responsibility through
a variety of educational perspectives and curricular themes,
and share and learn with fellow educators from around the
country.
Join master
teachers, business and community leaders, and members of civil
society to address issues surrounding globalization, from
corporate accountability to human rights education. Then discuss
how to transfer those critical debates into the classroom.
The Institute will equip educators with the tools to integrate
globalization issues into curriculum across academic disciplines,
from the arts and humanities to health and math classes. Teaching
practices explored during the Institute will focus on engaging
communities of color, including children of immigrants and
refugee populations.
For
whom:

ESL, Language Arts, Humanities, as well as school administrators,
librarians, and members of the public who are interested in
shaping how globalization issues are transferred to the classroom.
