Description - World Class by William Gaudelli
How do teachers and students attempt to understand their complex world? How have school curricula been affected by the ripple effects of globalization? Most states require world teaching in some form, yet little is known about how teachers and students engage in this critical curricular area. "World Class" attempts to fill this need by providing a detailed, inside look at global education in three high schools. The data from the study, drawn from extensive interviews and observations, illustrate the daily challenges and complexities of global teaching and learning.
Comprehensive yet scholarly, this volume: raises thought-provoking questions for both theorists and practitioners; addresses controversial issues embedded in global education and throughout the social studies curriculum, such as the tension between universalism and cultural relativism, the problematic nature of identity in classroom discourse, and the apparent duality of national and global loyalties; connects issues particular to global education with wider scholarship in education; examines the interplay of theory and practice in global education and, more broadly, the social sciences; and provides an exploratory and provocative look at dimensions of global civics, with an analysis of the events of 9/11/01 and how they have shaped global perspectives about living as one planet.
