Helping students from rural Mexico feel comfortable in your classroom - Connecting with... - 1 views

if a student is attending an American school for the first time, it may also be the first time he or she is surrounded by a different culture, language, food, and set of expectations for behavior. This can make a child feel very nervous, out of place, or shy.
-
the definition of a good education, or una buena educación, held by Mexican parents is far more comprehensive than the dominant American definition of a good education. For Mexican parents, the term una buena educación is a term used to refer to the broad education of a child rather than the solely the schooling of a child. In fact, the term in Spanish meaning “well-educated” is synonymous with the term ser gente decente, or “to be a good person.” A good education serves as the foundation for all other learning and instills in children a sense of moral, social, and personal responsibility. This includes teaching a child how to treat elders with respect, behave properly, and become a person of good moral standing.

The multi-cultural setting of international education lends itself to a more natural development of global citizenship
-
The second tool that can be used to advance these ideals is through the use of digital technology. For years, sites have offered classrooms the opportunity to link up with other classrooms in order to learn about each other’s cultures and countries, but the current trend is to take these partnerships beyond the traditional “what is life like in your country?” model.
-
I found this article highly connected to our topic about global empathy. After years of working in international schools, the setting is a great model I wish more people could experience. At a school with over 50 nationalities, students can't help but feel empathy when one of their classmates is effected by events back in their home country. The article also addresses the topic of digital technology to enhance the interenational school experience.
Empathy - Potential and Practice | Brown University - 2 views

Our habit of perceiving the world as best suits our interests often blinds us to others' perceptions and impairs our ability to work with them to resolve conflicts peacefully.

Designing a course that listens to "other voices" of history and the present day and employs empathy allows students to come to a better understanding of history and current events. This approach will develop an appreciation for the complexities of history and social affairs. Upon learning these complexities students will be more engaged in analyzing the perceptions, stances, and experiences of the many related peoples of history and the present world.

An excellent article about teaching empathy through current events and history.

This is an excellent article!!! A great read for all!
