  5. Interdisciplinary Curriculum • “Rigorous disciplinary understanding requires that students come to view the disciplines as the knowledge and thinking tools that our societies construct and revise to make sense of the world, explain phenomena, solve problems, create products and ask novel questions in informed ways.” (Boix-Mansilla and Jackson,2011)

  12. The Ethnosphere

  13. The Ethnosphere • "This century will not be remembered for its wars or for its technological innovations. It’s going to be remembered as the era in which we stood by and either actively endorsed or passively accepted the massive destruction of cultural diversity on the planet.“ Wade Davis

  14. The Ethnosphere

  15. The Ethnosphere “All cultures are always changing. They are always dancing with new ideas and possibilities. We must stress the problem is not change. Nor is the problem technology per se. The Iroquois warriors did not stop being Iroquois when they gave up the bow and arrow for the rifle, anymore than the American farmer stopped being an American when he gave up the horse and buggy for the automobile. It is neither change nor technology that threatens the integrity of the ethnosphere, it is power of cultural domination.” Wade Davis
