WHAT ARE THE

IMPLICATIONS FORYOUR SCHOOL?



16/47

HOW DO YOUPREPARE STUDENTS?



17/47


18/47

First you help them define the term citizen

of the world. Then you help them learn

what being a good citizen means -- tothemselves, to loved ones and family, to the

school community, to the surrounding

community. Ones actions can be directly

linked to ones values (beliefs, feelings, andactions that are important to us), so

starting with a basic understanding of

ones values is essential to any

meaningful discussions on citizenship.The global context is meaningless unless

students are good citizens of their own

nation.



19/47

Right before our eyes, all that the education sectorhas controlled, dismissed, manipulated, validated,

embellished, fictionalized, and ranked within an aura

of tradition and ritual may be accessed by point-and-

click.We need to stop chasing exponentially

expanding content. Inquiry, problem recognition

and solution, creativity, knowing ones strengths and

weaknesses, communication, and relationships arewhat students must be prepared for.



20/47

Becoming a world citizen requires

knowledge and experience of other

cultures; U.S. schools do not provideknowledge or experience. Rather, they

provide a cursory glimpse of others in order

to exemplify how not to be American.

Diversity Day does not create world

citizens, it patronizes cultural difference and

touts xenophobia, and always winds up

pandering American culture asEurocentrically defined. Only travel and

immersion in other cultures creates world

citizens.



21/47

Prepare students to be citizens of the world

bybeing one yourself. Teach from a global

perspective.
