Description: People, communities, cultures, and countries are more connected with others across the globe than they have ever been. Globalization, however, is not without problems, both ethical and social. This workshop will explore the global and local dimensions of social, historical and cultural issues that shape us, with a particular lens on how schools and educators act as mediators in these issues.

Learning goals: Foster curiosity and interest in the world’s cultures, communities, and contexts; Create connections to global and local complex challenges that impact the shared human experience; Develop curriculum and pedagogical skills that enable teachers to incorporate international perspectives in their content area; Implement curriculum, programs, and lessons, that support global communication competencies to support multilingualism in schools, communities, and experiences; Design and engage/implement cross-cultural experiences connected to content-area programs and the development of global competencies.
