Assessment tools
Taking a global approach to teaching can be intimidating. But in reality you don't have to be an expert on global issues to educate your students in global citizenship. It really just takes a willingness to talk about some core concepts in the classroom. The guides below offer guidance on tackling the "Big Ideas" and incorporating them into a wide variety of lessons - they are designed to be used with any grade level or subject area (basically just a framework to get you thinking "globally" about what you already do!) The six "Big Ideas" are:
- Globalization and Interdependence
- Social Justice and Equity
- Identity and Diversity
- Sustainable Development
- Peace and Conflict
