Assessing global competence - Teacher
In 2015, 193 countries committed to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations – a shared vision of humanity that provides the missing piece of the globalisation puzzle. The extent to which that vision becomes a reality will in no small way depend on what is happening in today’s classrooms. Indeed, it is educators who hold the key to ensuring that the SDGs become a real social contract with citizens.

danah boyd: How Critical Thinking and Media Literacy Efforts Are ‘Backfiring’ Today | EdSurge News
On a more practical level, boyd urged attendees to “help young people understand epistemological differences.” The term generally refers to questions over the nature of knowledge and how beliefs about what’s right or wrong are constructed. One question that she believes is valuable for teachers to explore with students is: “Why do people from different worldviews interpret the same piece of information differently?” The challenge, she said, is making sure that media literacy and critical thinking are not deployed in the classroom as “an assertion of authority over epistemology.”

The Global Search for Education: Escuela Nueva Has Much to Teach Us
How do you develop a cost-effective quality learning model for the 21st Century for disadvantaged children in small rural schools scattered across Colombia? Beginning in the 1970s, Vicky Colbert rose to the challenge. She focused on building an innovative education model in which key strategies were cooperative learning and cross-peer tutoring. Colbert and her team at Fundacion Escuela Nueva essentially pulled off a paradigm shift, moving their schools from a teacher-centered education to a student-centered learning model that integrates curriculum and teacher professional development and engages local communities in the education journey of their students.
