In the summer, Filomena goes to the garden where she has a diverse group of friends who enrich her life. Through their conversations, Filomena learns about the long journey to and back from Mexico which some of the birds and butterflies in the garden take each year. She enjoys seeing the squirrels and the birds take turns eating from the birdfeeder that hangs from a lamppost. Liberty the blue jay, however, does not see why she needs to be considered with other birds as she eats her fill.

In this increasingly flattened world, learning to think critically about global affairs is of utmost importance. Students need to learn how local and global affairs are interdependent; they need to be able to identify shared interests and to collaborate with others across national borders. "Twelve Lessons to Open Classrooms and Minds to the World" is the result of a collaborative effort organized by the NEA Foundation to support outstanding teacher-leaders in developing 21st century global curriculum that is aligned with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals – a universal call-to-action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. This collection of k-12 lesson plans created by the NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellows is an easily-accessible guide that provides educators with essential tools to be able to prepare students for active global citizenship.

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.
