How do you prepare your students to be citizens of the world?
My students become global citizens at our international studies magnet elementary school by learning in an environment where they can gain an understanding of what it means to be an international student; working with students of many ethnicities, faiths, and beliefs. This teaching / learning concept is developed within the "IB" philosophy that, at the elementary level, encompasses student service learning, cooperative learning activities, and a worldwide view of themselves, their community, our country and the world as interrelated pieces of a whole. In today's world, it is important our students learn how to seek out information and guide themselves to learn new skills because they will create their own future as a global student and citizen. We offer them the social, technological and educational skills to be successful as tomorrow's global leaders.
