Presented by: April Mattix Foster | George Mason University
This presentation describes the work a team at George Mason University is undertaking, with the support of a Longview Foundation Grant, to enhance the development of understanding of global issues surrounding immigrants, refugees, and racism.
This workshop seeks to engage teachers with research-based strategies for teaching for global competence and anti-racist education.
It will attend specifically to global thinking routines – micro-teaching tools that can foster inquiry about the world beyond one’s immediate environment, engage learners in perspective taking of others’ viewpoints, invite respectful dialog with diverse others, and spark thinking around acting and advocating for a more just and sustainable world.
Target audience
Teachers and school administrators
