How have school curricula been affected by the ripple effects of
globalization?
How do teachers and students attempt to understand their complex
world?
Most states require world teaching in some form, yet little is
known about how teachers and students engage in this critical
curricular area. "World Class: Teaching and Learning in Global
Times" directly fills this need by providing a detailed, inside
look at global education in three high schools. The data from the
study, drawn from extensive interviews and observations, illustrate
the daily challenges and complexities of global teaching and
learning.
Comprehensive yet scholarly, this volume:
*raises thought-provoking questions for both theorists and
practitioners;
*addresses controversial issues embedded in global education and
throughout the social studies curriculum, such as the tension
between universalism and cultural relativism, the problematic
nature of identity in classroom discourse, and the apparent duality
of national and global loyalties;
*connects issues particular to global education with wider
scholarship in education;
*examines the interplay of theory and practice in global education
and, more broadly, the social sciences; and
*provides an exploratory and provocative look at dimensions of
global civics, with an analysis of the events of 9/11/01 and how
they have shaped global perspectives about living as one planet.
The book is organized in three parts--contexts, problems, and
alternatives. "Contexts" allows readers to consider global
education from multiple perspectives: teacher, student,
administrator, community member, and scholar. "Problems" focuses on
pedagogical challenges associated with global education.
"Alternatives" provides reflection points that encourage readers to
consider different ways we might converse about global teaching and
learning.
Written for scholars, practitioners, and students in social
studies, curriculum and instruction, global/multicultural
education, and related fields, "World Class: Teaching and Learning
in Global Times" is an excellent text for preservice and
graduate-level courses in these areas.
