Description: This course begins by introducing perspectives on globalization and how the globalization process impacts educational policies and practices. We will then discuss three major topics from an international and comparative perspective. These three topics are: 1) educational policies and practices; 2) pedagogies and classroom practices; 3) individual experiences of learning. Case studies will be used to demonstrate different ways to examine how schools teach, as well as how students learn, in various social contexts. Towards the end of the course, students will learn to develop age appropriate pedagogical tools by incorporating global learning perspectives that can be used in K-12 classrooms.
