Develop global criteria to evaluate curricula

How can we formalize and systemize how we ground curricula around global orientations through the cyclical review process?

Infuse global literature

What resources and analytical frameworks could we use to enrich our global perspectives?

Utilize global pedagogy

What instructional approaches and resources lead students toward global orientations?

Making global connections through technology

How can we connect with students across the world? What skills do we need to teach our students to be critical consumers of media and technology?

Remember the unintended curriculum

How can we represent a more global orientation in the schools beyond the academic curriculum?

Framing Our WorkCritical Questions:1. What are priorities in this

area?2. What processes do you

recommend be taken as actions to globalize the curriculum-schools?

3. What evidence do you hope to see in this area to make you confident that “students are attaining a global perspective”?

Considerations:1. Comprehensive (K-12)2. Finding meaning

between the local and global

3. Resources, training, and collaboration

4. Favor depth and significance over coverage
