Global Learning

What is the importance of global learning?  Students must be prepared for the global workplace.  Any job in communications, computer services, technology, and almost any job today involves some type of global interaction.  Cultural understanding, language skills, and the application of new technology are among the keys for success in today's global market economy.  This is why I feel that as a teacher it is my responsibility to push for more social studies and civics based education in the classroom.  Education has become obsessed with "teaching to the test," and we have forgotten that students need to learn life skills about human interaction.  There is more to life than just Math, Reading, and Language arts.  I feel that we can incorporate those skills in a thematic teaching environment that will give students the skills and resources to have an effective positive career in the global world.  For more information check out this article.
