Educating students about their roles as “global citizens” is a challenge that has taken on increasing importance in recent years. In this volume, prominent educators join Nel Noddings to address the issue of global citizenship, what it means, and how it should shape curriculum and teaching in K–12 classrooms.
Features:
- Frameworks for educating global citizens, including building community and mutual respect, creating social responsibility, instilling an appreciation for diversity, promoting emotional literacy, and managing and resolving conflict.
- Practical suggestions to help teachers enrich their classrooms with global content.
- Advice for teaching better global attitudes throughout the curriculum, in social studies, science, literature, and math classes.
- Diverse perspectives of leading educators and scholars on global citizenship and its value to education and community.
“Noddings’ book is a refreshing read. Unlike some edited volumes it successfully navigates the tensions between covering conceptual ground and maintaining coherence. Across the board the short chapters are well written, conceptually rich, and practice-based. Though each chapter certainly stands alone, a picture of what the work of educating students for global citizenship looks like arises from the chapters viewed together.”
—Ethan Lowenstein, Teachers College Record
“In these critical times, this book provides irrefutable evidence about the importance of teaching tolerance and citizenship for global awareness and unity.”
—Nadine Strossen, President, American Civil Liberties Union, and Professor of Law, New York Law School
“A splendid book….offers powerful strategies for incorporating themes of global citizenship into the curriculum, but also leaves plenty of room for managing the unique educational contexts that teachers face on a daily basis. It will doubtless prove an invaluable resource for anyone interested in educational philosophy.”
—Larry Hickman, Director, Center for Dewey Studies, Southern Illinois University
