The Global School: Connecting Classrooms and Students Around the World

The Global School: Connecting Classrooms and Students Around the World helps K-12 teachers prepare students for an increasingly flat world-a place where diverse people from divergent cultures learn and work together rather than in isolation. Author William Kist expertly draws from interviews with pioneering educators to provide teachers with sample assignments, projects, and assessments that are already being implemented in classrooms across the globe. These suggestions move beyond the call for students to memorize material and toward higher-order thinking.
