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.
