Teaching With a Global Perspective

As our world becomes increasingly connected, global issues become entangled with students' daily lives. To prepare students as globally aware future leaders, social studies curricula must reflect the reality of these current global challenges. Drawing from theories and frameworks in global social studies education, Jing A. Williams, Bárbara C. Cruz, and Anatoli Rapoport provide practical, cross-curricular methods for secondary social studies teachers to incorporate global education into their daily teaching. Organized by common social studies content areas, each chapter identifies topics that support globalmindedness. This book also includes powerful vignettes based on real classroom interactions and innovative, classroom-tested teaching approaches and strategies that engage students in activities that hold personal meaning for them. Benefitting educators at all levels, Teaching With a Global Perspective: Approaches and Strategies for Secondary Social Studies Teachers encourages educators to cultivate global awareness, challenge their students' thinking, and support their development as informed citizens in an interconnected world.
