Global Competence Module 2: How Learners See the World
Global Competence Training, Part 2: How Learners See the World
Recording: Module 2 of the Global Competence training.
In order to meet the challenges of a 21st century learning environment, educators are required to be globally competent. Learners are growing increasingly more diverse, and globalization has created a workplace that requires globally minded graduates. Not all educators, however, are provided professional development opportunities to prepare them for this reality.
This module is one in a three part training series presented by the Paul D. Coverdell World Wise Schools program at Peace Corps. It is intended for K-20 educators, group leaders, or after school program leaders who want to understand how to develop global competence in their learners.
Objectives
By the end of this module, learners will be able to:
- Identify the fundamentals of culture
- Articulate how their learners' views may differ from their own and how that impacts their learning
- Describe how global competence can help them better reach diverse learners
