Teaching in a Globally-Connected World: Preparing Learners for the Future

Editat de Ervin F. Sparapani, Pamela L. Ross McClain
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iul 2016
This book examines the current social, political, economic, and religious climate of the world, makes projections for the future, and then makes suggestions for what the contributors believe educators need to think about in order to adequately prepare young people to successfully navigate that future. We live in a globally-connected world, and young people, as they move into the future, need to be prepared to live in that future. Schools (and teachers) tend to focus on the present, which is okay; however, schools (and teachers) must decide what is important to know in the present in order for young people to be successful in the future. The responsibility of education today must be to prepare learners to live in an unknown future, that is global, and not be so focused on an uncertain present.

Recenzii

Teaching in a Globally Connected World is a great resource guide for the reflective educator who understands the profile of today's learners and that of the future and who wants to empower students to be lifelong learners.
The 21st Century is a fast-paced challenge for people and societies all over the world. The realm of education MUST be responsive to rapid and continual changes in communications technology and its increasing ability to impact and connect the global community. The K-12 education in the United States must be continually looking ahead to be able to challenge all students to master the foundational curriculum within the context of preparation to learn about and function within the expanding global society. This book is an excellent resource for helping schools meet this challenge. The ability to engage in lifelong learning is ESSENTIAL!
A deeply compelling and contemplative collection of chapters that ask readers to delve into their own knowledge and beliefs, while simultaneously moving forward to find meaningful ways to prepare current and future generations within an ever changing global community.
This book represents the present and future landscapes of teaching and learning within the 21st Century. I firmly believe that students need to be properly prepared today for the vast opportunities that await them tomorrow. As we continue to witness the great evolution of technological advances in education, educational practitioners must be properly prepared to maximize the learning experiences for students from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds.
Not only a glimpse into the global, educational future, but a paved pathway specifically and strategically showcasing how educators can impact students' success in that world. By dissecting the educational needs of the future as well as the profile of today's learner, educators will walk away with a handbook of ideas to prepare students to be lifelong learners.
A forward-thinking book that offers readers an opportunity to expand their worldviews and think deeply about how schools should function to prepare learners for our global society. Educators who have an eye on the future can definitely benefit from this book.
