  4. Global Education Foundations 1 3 2 Paradigm Shift Global Citizenship The Concept of Culture “To me, it seems a dreadful indignity to have a soul controlled by geography.” George Santayana

  5. 1 Paradigm Shift How does global education relate to the nation-state? “The nation-state has not been able to exhaust the identifications of the individual…Modern nation-states have to confront or engage with other historical representations of community.” PrasenjitDuara in Resucing History from the Nation

  6. 2 The Concept of Culture How is this concept taught in your school and understood by your staff? “Man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun. I take culture to be those webs, and the analysis of it to be therefore not an experimental science in search of law but an interpretive one in search of meaning.” Clifford Geertz in The Interpretation of Culture

  7. 3 Global Citizenship What type of Global Citizen do we want? “We should hold under suspicion any word that describes a chunk of the story while claiming universal relevance. Words such as progress, development, modernity, nation-state, and globalization.” Michel-RolphTrouillot in Global Transformations

  8. How we teach, what we expect students to learn, and how we allow students to demonstrate their understanding directly impacts how they engage the world. Meta-cognition and Habits of Mind: What makes up Global Intelligence? Collaboration over IsolationComplex Thought over Binary ThoughtStudent Generated Content over Student Memorization
