Most schools have a mission statement that either states outright or implies an aim to develop global citizens. Schools recognize their responsibility to develop students who are prepared intellectually, culturally and ethically to make a positive contribution to the world. If this is our mission, how and where in the school day does the development of global citizens take place?
We cannot just develop global citizens through our global trips, MUN programs or Round Square exchanges, as these are opt-in programs. Since our mission statements apply to every student, the development of global citizens has to take place daily, within and through our curriculum and instruction.
This workshop demonstrates how to create and use K-12 disciplinary transfer goals as a means of developing global citizens.
