Video: The Fierce Urgency of Now: Global Education as a Gateway to Creating Critically Informed, Motivated and Globally Competent Citizens

Abstract

In this, the era of globalization, in which the borders of the nationstate are ever more porous, the daunting challenges that face humanity are increasingly global in scope and therefore require global solutions. This has significant implications for the professional practice of K to 12 teachers, teacher-educators, and curriculum developers. Students need to be prepared to successfully confront the complex 21st century challenges that they will soon inherit as young adults.
