Are Children Being Taught to Be Globally-Minded Citizens?
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 05, 2016 -- In a new article, CMRubinWorld puts teachers around the globe to the test on educating global citizens capable of taking on 21st century problems.
Populations continue to move freely across borders and continents, bringing greater ethnic and cultural diversity to every nation’s classrooms. Youth unemployment is growing as more jobs are automated. In an increasingly volatile world, communities are becoming more complex. So what are the key skills, behaviors and attitudes educators should focus on to help students succeed?
The Global Search for Education asked renowned classroom teachers from all over the world to share their perspectives and top tips for raising globally-minded young people. “We are no more an isolated identity rather we are a significant part of the global village,” says Rashmi Kathuria from India. We are connected politically, economically, environmentally, socially and culturally. “Projects between schools” to “build bridges” are critical because they make it possible for students and teachers to engage and learn from one another, says Maarit Rossi from Finland.
The Global Teacher Bloggers are pioneers and innovators in fields such as technology integration, mathematics coaching, special needs education, science instruction, and gender equity. They have founded schools, written curricula, and led classrooms in 13 different countries that stretch across every populated continent on earth. These teachers empower and enrich the lives of young people from nearly every background imaginable.
“We just don’t know what the future holds,” says Craig Kemp from Singapore. We need to “let go of the traditional view of school as the place where knowledge is loaded into kids’ brains,” says Elisa Guerra from Mexico.
