In this webinar, we learned about helping students become competent as global citizens. Host Cindy Derrane told us about the Global Citizenship club at her school, Norwood High School in Massachusetts. The club focuses on global citizenship, and includes things like foreign language literacy and volunteer work in organizations concerned with international needs.
I think this information is extremely important in regards to teaching students to be more aware of the world around them. I actually am planning on going overseas after I graduate to teach in international American schools, which means that this information will be extremely important to me. I think that most students in my future classroom will need to be able to connect with people around the globe in order to effectively use the information they learn, and I think the global citizenship program is a great program to teach that.
