En un mundo rápidamente cambiante, las escuelas deben evolucionar para preparar a los jóvenes adecuadamente para que estos puedan inventar el futuro. Reinventar la educación requiere pensar de forma novedosa sobre como apoyar a los estudiantes para que desarrollen las competencias que los empoderen como arquitectos de sus propias vidas con la capacidad de contribuir a las comunidades de las que forman parte.Basado en la investigación y práctica en el área de la educación para la ciudadanía global, este libro presenta El Curso Mundial, un currículo rigoroso y coherente para promover la agencia de los estudiantes, su empatía, y el conocimiento profundo y las destrezas necesarias para reconocer los mayores desafíos globales de nuestros tiempos, así como las oportunidades para abordarlos, de manera que permita avanzar la sustentabilidad, los derechos humanos y la paz. Integrando las ideas más contemporáneas sobre competencias para el siglo veintiuno y aprendizaje profundo, y utilizando pedagogías que cultivan la responsabilidad estudiantil, la imaginación y la creatividad, tales como el aprendizaje basado en proyectos o el pensamiento de diseño, este libro ofrece una hoja de ruta para reinventar la educación de manera que empodere a ciudadanos globales

When a group of educators from Massachusetts traveled to Singapore to visit schools and talk to teachers, teacher educators, and school and system-level leaders in the fall of 2015, they were determined to learn how Singapore had built a high-performing education system. Singapore has transitioned from an education system focused simply on universal literacy and primary education to one that aims for universal high school graduation and post-secondary success. It has gone from a developing nation in 1965 to a first-world economy today-and it has done so largely by focusing on education. In this series of letters, members of the delegation identify the educational practices and policies that have enabled Singapore to become a prosperous knowledge economy. Many of their practices and successes could be transferred to the United States and elsewhere.

How do we help students work effectively with others from diverse cultural backgrounds? How do we help them understand the world? How do we prepare them for work and life in an era of globalization, volatility, and uncertainty? Empowering Global Citizens offers educators and parents compelling answers to those questions. This book presents The World Course, a curriculum on global citizenship education designed to equip students with the competencies they need to thrive and contribute to sustainable development in an era of globalization. Drawing on curriculum mapping this book offers a coherent and rigorous set of instructional units to support deep learning of twenty-first-century competencies that develop agency, imagination, confidence, and the skills to navigate the complexity of our times. Drawing on a rich conceptual framework of global education, The World Course scaffolds the development of global competency drawing on project-based learning and other pedagogies that support personalization. The course expands children’s horizons, helping them understand the world in which they live in all its complexity from kindergarten to high school. This is done through learning activities at the zone for proximal development for each age group, with activities that foster student agency and a growth mindset.
