DESCRIPTION

Our classrooms provide a rich diverse basis upon which to develop students' intercultural and global

perspectives. This course will explore intercultural processes, development of a global perspective and

educational approaches to support these investigations. We will explore approaches which actively engaged

students in developing an understanding of, and a responsibility for, promoting positive interdependent

relationships on local, national and global levels so that individually and collectively world citizens can

increasingly be participants in a socially just and equitable world.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Participants will:

• examine the nature of, and approaches for developing, a global perspective

• investigate some of the major issues in intercultural and global education

• analyze approaches which are culturally responsive and responsible

• compare models of integrating and infusing cultural, global and multicultural content across the curriculum

• examine intercultural communication skills

• explore approaches to creating a culturally rich environment that nurtures all children

• engage in field experiences and interactions with international students to examine their own global

perspectives

• investigate ways teachers and schools inadvertently further social injustices

• examine teaching practices and education systems in different cultural contexts
