Global
Source Educators' Collaborative
The Global Source Educators' Collaborative was created in
2005 in response to a clear need among a group of engaged
educators for ongoing professional discourse. The Collaborative
is made up of elementary, secondary, and university educators
practicing in the Puget Sound area. We come together to address
issues in global education, to support one another's curriculum
and teaching, and to strengthen our professional relationships.
The energy and commitment of the Collaborative have become
a dynamic element in informing the work of Global Source.
The
Educators' Collaborative meets monthly, alternating between
Bainbridge Island and Seattle. Additional activities planned
by the Collaborative include professional enrichment programs,
guest speaker forums, curriculum development projects, and
events for the larger professional community. The Collaborative's
working theme for 2005-6 is Citizenship
in a Global Age: Teaching and Learning about the Role of Democracy,
Human Rights and Media in the 21st Century. This
forum is part of a year-long dialogue and study directed at
building classroom and school-level education for citizenship
in a global age.
March
10-12: The Collaborative will host a session at the WSCSS
Conference in Chelan, WA

Graduate
Level Course Work with Antioch University Seattle
Global
Source is pleased to announce that we will offer master's
degree coursework through Antioch
University Seattle in such core topics of global education
as Bridging Classes and Communities Globally and Locally;
Human Rights Education; Globalization Across Boundaries; and
Immigrants, Refugees, and Cultural Survival. Our offerings
are designed to meet the elective credit requirements of Antioch's
Master of Arts in Education degree. Students may enroll for
one offering or take several to form a concentration area
of study. Offerings take various forms as well: courses, guided
studies, and independent students. They are open to students
enrolled in the MAEd program and to non-matriculated students
as well. Please contact Jon Garfunkel at Global Source Education
(206.780.5797 or Garfunkel@GlobalSourceNetwork.org or Ed Mikel,
Center for Programs in Education at Antioch University Seattle
(206.268.4617 or emikel@antiochseattle.edu).
The Antioch
site-based MAEd program is scheduled to begin a cohort in
the Poulsbo area in April, 2006. The graduate program offers
a full-time cohort model of degree study for experienced educators
comprised of 48 credits that can be completed in five quarters.
Of the total of 48 credits required, 25 are to be completed
in core courses done by the cohort together. The remaining
23 credits are done through elective offerings, including
program-related graduate level courses that may be taken through
other universities with instructor approval. Students have
great flexibility within the program to specialize in specific
professional interests. The curriculum is focused on K-12
learning. The program is organized on a philosophy emphasizing
active and engaged learning within a supportive learning community
created by and for students and teachers. The individuality
of all students and the social and cultural diversity of the
group of learners is fully recognized and kept at the center
of all activities. Students are encouraged and guided to develop
leadership skills enabling them to strive for positive educational
change in their classrooms, schools, district, and the larger
profession that will promote authentic education, equity,
and social justice.
