An examination of new approaches to educating children in a
globalized world At the dawn of the twenty-first century, we are
living in a global era, yet schooling systems remain generally
reactive and slow to adapt to shifting economic, technological,
demographic, and cultural terrains. There is a growing urgency to
create, evaluate, and expand new models of education that are
better synchronized with the realities of today’s globally linked
economies and societies. Educating the Whole Child for the Whole
World examines one such model: the ethos and practices of the Ross
Schools and their incubation, promotion, and launching of new ideas
and practices into public education. Over the last two decades Ross
has come to articulate a systematic approach to education
consciously tailored for a new era of global interdependence. In
this volume, world-renowned scholars from a variety of disciplines,
as well as veteran teachers, administrators, and students, come
together to examine some of the best practices in K-12 education in
the context of an increasingly interconnected world. Together they
explore how the Ross model of education, which cultivates in
students a global perspective, aligns with broader trends in the
arts, humanities, and sciences in the new millennium. Contributors:
