Teaching With a Global Perspective

As our world becomes increasingly connected, global issues become entangled with students' daily

lives. To prepare students as globally aware future leaders, social studies curricula must reflect the reality

of these current global challenges. Drawing from theories and frameworks in global social studies

education, Jing A. Williams, B rbara C. Cruz, and Anatoli Rapoport provide practical, cross-curricular

methods for secondary social studies teachers to incorporate global education into their daily teaching.

Organized by common social studies content areas, each chapter identifies topics that support

globalmindedness. This book also includes powerful vignettes based on real classroom interactions and

innovative, classroom-tested teaching approaches and strategies that engage students in activities that

hold personal meaning for them. Benefitting educators at all levels, Teaching With a Global Perspective:

Approaches and Strategies for Secondary Social Studies Teachers encourages educators to cultivate global

awareness, challenge their students' thinking, and support their development as informed citizens in an

interconnected world.
