The Global Education Collaborative is a community of practice where
people connect and build the professional relationships necessary for
effective collaboration across borders. Via this social network, educators
and organizations from all over the world share conversations, resources,
projects, and initiatives with a strong emphasis on promoting global
awareness, fostering global competency, and inspiring action towards
solving real-world problems. Our ultimate goal is to help prepare students
for a rapidly changing and complex world.

24. We have urgent problems that need to
be addressed and, in order to prepare
our students to work on these
problems, we must connect them
globally.
We must teach them how networked
learning leads to networked problem
solving.

40. First you help them define the term “citizen of the world”. Then
you help them learn what being a good citizen means -- to
themselves, to loved ones and family, to the school community,
to the surrounding community. One’s actions can be directly
linked to one’s values (beliefs, feelings, and actions that are
important to us), so starting with a basic understanding of
one’s values is essential to any meaningful discussions on
citizenship. The global context is meaningless unless students
are good citizens of their own nation.
40

41. Right before our eyes, all that the education sector has
controlled, dismissed, manipulated, validated, embellished,
fictionalized, and ranked within an aura of tradition and ritual
may be accessed by point-and-click. We need to stop chasing
exponentially expanding content. Inquiry, problem recognition
and solution, creativity, knowing one’s strengths and
weaknesses, communication, and relationships are what
students must be prepared for.
41

42. Becoming a world citizen requires knowledge and
experience of other cultures; U.S. schools do not provide
knowledge or experience. Rather, they provide a cursory
glimpse of others in order to exemplify how not to be American.
“Diversity Day” does not create world citizens, it patronizes
cultural difference and touts xenophobia, and always winds up
pandering American culture as Eurocentrically defined. Only
travel and immersion in other cultures creates world citizens.
42

43. Prepare students to be citizens of the world by being one
yourself. Teach from a global perspective.
