28. Questions
What are the implications for teaching given these new
ways of teaching and learning?
Why isn’t the topic of student engagement one of our
top priorities?
Will rigorous curriculum will emerge if we address skills
detailed in the Global Achievement Gap and in the
Partnership for 21st Century Skills model?

34. First you help them define the term “citizen of the
world”. Then you help them learn what being a good
citizen means -- to themselves, to loved ones and
family, to the school community, to the surrounding
community. One’s actions can be directly linked to
one’s values (beliefs, feelings, and actions that are
important to us), so starting with a basic
understanding of one’s values is essential to
any meaningful discussions on citizenship. The
global context is meaningless unless students are
good citizens of their own nation.

36. Right before our eyes, all that the education sector
has controlled, dismissed, manipulated, validated,
embellished, fictionalized, and ranked within an aura
of tradition and ritual may be accessed by point-and-
click. We need to stop chasing exponentially
expanding content. Inquiry, problem recognition
and solution, creativity, knowing one’s strengths and
weaknesses, communication, and relationships are
what students must be prepared for.
27Monday, October 10, 2011
38. Becoming a world citizen requires knowledge
and experience of other cultures; U.S. schools
do not provide knowledge or experience.
Rather, they provide a cursory glimpse of others in
order to exemplify how not to be American.
“Diversity Day” does not create world citizens, it
patronizes cultural difference and touts xenophobia,
and always winds up pandering American culture as
Eurocentrically defined. Only travel and immersion
in other cultures creates world citizens.
28Monday, October 10, 2011
40. Prepare students to be citizens of the world by
being one yourself. Teach from a global
perspective.
