Journal of Multiculturalism in Education - 3 views

  •  
    've recently come across a fantastic resource, that I wish I had've known about several months ago, but hope you all can still find it useful. It is a Journal for Multicultural Education by a university in the States. The best part is, it's free! Here's the link: http://www.wtamu.edu/journal/multiculturalism-in-education.aspx Another good one that I use is the International Journal of Multicultural Education: http://ijme-journal.org/index.php/ijme/index Hope they are useful for you!

Global Issues - 0 views

    I came across a guide from Oxfam UK about 'Education for Global Citizenship' whilst researching Standard 2. http://www.oxfam.org.uk/education/gc/files/education_for_global_citizenship_a_guide_for_schools.pdf Perhaps it is useful for others with their Global Issue topic. It has some background information about why it is important for students to become global citizens, and also has some lesson ideas for the different Key Stages and how it ties into the National Curriculum.

Truly international in scope, this is a book that anyone involved with international education should read.

Education for Global Competence: Preparing our Youth to Engage the World - 0 views

  •  
    Veronica Boix Mansilla's and Anthony Jackson's book "Educating For Global Competencies: Preparing Our Youth to Engage the World" is an excellent resource for internationally-minded teachers. The Asia Society is doing some really interesting work in education for global competencies, which they define as "the capacity and disposition to understand and act on issues of global significance." This book articulates how teachers and schools can graduate globally competent students, as well as the skills and knowledge students need in the 21st century. From the book's introduction, "Globally competent individuals are aware, curious, and interested in learning about the world and how it works. They can use the big ideas, tools, methods, and languages that are central to any discipline (mathematics, literature, history, science, and the arts) to engage the pressing issues of our time. They deploy and develop this expertise as they investigate such issues, recognizing multiple perspectives, communicating their views effectively, and taking action to improve conditions." The chapter on teaching for global competencies is particularly valuable. It tries to answer the questions, "What does quality teaching for global competence look like?" and "How can teachers design instruction to foster global competence among their students?" The book can be downloaded for free via the Asia Society: http://asiasociety.org/files/book-globalcompetence.pdf

The erosion of geography - 0 views

  •  
    In its white paper on education earlier this year, the government mentioned mathematics more than 50 times, history rated one mention and geography none at all. Currently geography is a part of the core curriculum until the age of 14 and then it becomes optional, but in the education bill, due to be published on Friday, the subject is expected to lose out again.

Global Issues - 100 people - 0 views

    I'd like to share with you the website "100People: a world portrait - a global education toolbox": http://www.100people.org It's really interesting. It analyses global issues (e.g. water, food, health, economy) as if the world were 100 people. I think it might be particularly useful to develop Standard 2. Please, take a look
