Creating the Global Classroom: Approaches to Developing the Next Generation of World Savvy Students
Autor Laurence Petersen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 mar 2022
This book connects theory and practice about global education relevant to cultivating global awareness in primary and secondary students. From this foundation, the book engages with the challenge of integrating global perspectives within a crowded curriculum. By convincing students and teachers alike of global education’s centrality, thinking globally becomes an integral component of learning across subject areas and grade levels, and this work encourages students to exercise empathy for the other and to develop critical skills to see through media distortions and 'fake news' so they can better resist the tendency of politicians in our increasingly multicultural countries to divide people along racial and ethnic lines.

By challenging the validity of a "single story view of the world…taught from the viewpoint of the winners" this important book provides a compelling rational and practical guidance on how schools can prepare youth for a diverse, global future. A must read for educators seeking to help students shape their common destiny.
Dr. Anthony Jackson, Asia Society
Creating the Global Classroom builds on the ideals of teaching and learning through global perspectives as students interact in a globally interconnected world. This challenge has never been more critical than now given our changing planet and human economic, environmental, political, and technological activities.
Merry Merryfield, Emeritus Professor, Social Studies and Global Education, School of Teaching and Learning, Studies, College of Education, The Ohio State University
The COVID-19 Pandemic has provided most of humanity a shared experience reminding us of our vulnerability, while making visible how gender, race, nationality, social class, neighborhood and other differentiators bring us apart in how we have fared during this health crisis. Coming out of this crisis, however, will require that we extend beyond our own circumstances, and work together with others so we all can recover from the pandemic’s impact. The skills to do that, the comprehension of what we must do to build a renaissance after this pandemic, including addressing challenges such as social fragmentation, inequality or climate change, define global citizenship. Schools and universities have a critical role to play in educating global citizens. At a time when global citizenship education is challenged by another pandemic, the pandemic of bigoted, exclusionary nationalism and nativism, Laurence Peters’ book ‘Creating the Global Classroom’ is a refreshing invitation to think anew and with clarity about the education of global citizens. This book helps us understand the dangers of the ‘single story’ in making sense of difference and of our world and our own place in it, including the ‘single stories’ of global education. Every teacher should read this book.

Descriere
The book examines how to begin to think like a global educator first by examining how our own histories and experiences have formed our own cultural and professional identities and second how the varied frames by which global education can be understood, pedagogical, ideological and cosmopolitan have shaped the field.
