Volume 12  |  Issue 9  |  January 13, 2017

Global-Ready Students

"Students who are globally competent are able to investigate the world, recognize and weigh perspectives, communicate ideas, and take action," writes Anthony Jackson in "The Antidote to Extremism." They can do more than scroll past world events or offer condolences—they can engage and shape the world for the better. This issue showcases lessons, policies, mindsets, and resources that will help you grow global-ready students.


Features

The World Won't Wait for Graduation

Tim Kubik

If the digital age has shortened the distance between individuals and world events, then schools must reconsider the classical approach to preparing students for civic life.

Creating a New World Through Global Education

Erin Dowd

A global education doesn't always have to be about world events but rather how to live in the world. A unit on government and leadership culminates in a performance task where students practice listening, respectfully disagreeing, encouraging others, and leading.

CTE in High School: Does It Improve Student Outcomes?

Shaun Dougherty and Dara Zeehandelaar

Modern, quality career and technical education (CTE) provides a pathway to careers and credentialing in high-demand industries such as technology, medicine, and manufacturing. Yet, in the U.S., these types of CTE opportunities are scarce and the discipline is often neglected in education policies. Using data from Arkansas, the authors make the case for expanding CTE.

How International Tests Help Our Holistic Approach to Global Ed

Deb Kerr

Global readiness instruction is woven into teaching, learning, and assessing in Wisconsin's Brown Deer school district. Using the OECD's Test for Schools, the district has been able to reveal and respond to blind spots in teaching math and promoting a love of reading.

Growing Global Competency Through Policy, Advocates, and Virtual Exchange

Chris Plutte

Global learning is gaining ground in states that adopt global competency learning standards; in schools that invite parents and educators to draw on their personal, global connections; and in classrooms that build on the promise of virtual exchanges.
