Teaching With a Global Perspective: Approaches and Strategies for Secondary Social Studies Teachers

Jing A. Williams, Bárbara C. Cruz, and Anatoli Rapoport

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, Bárbara 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.
