“The book reflects the awesome complexity of school improvement and challenges the simple-minded notions that exist among the public and the profession about social change. This book is based on evidence and stands in fresh contrast to the many books about education that are based entirely upon opinion or personal/political agendas. The total impact of the book is larger than the sum of its parts and elevates education and schools as places to be respected, not as convenient targets to be reduced to rubble.”—-Jan L. Tucker The book tells the story of the successes and failures in a network of 13 schools in Southern California as they went about the task of bringing a global perspective to the curricula of their schools. (formerly published by SUNY Press).
“The authors tell the stories of ten schools in nine states in the United States wherein faculties worked to bring a global perspective to the curriculum. All levels of schooling are represented. There are rural, suburban, and urban schools serving varying socio-economic levels of students. The stories are authentic and full of practical ideas.”—-from the Foreword by John I. Goodlad
First published as the ASCD Yearbook in 1991, this book is a timeless exploration of the meanings and realities of the social movement known as global education. Lee Anderson begins the book by presenting a powerful rationale for global studies. In Chapter Two, Barbara Tye considers what she calls “the deep structure of schools” and its relationship to global education. Steve Lamy then explores the “worldviews” held by significant segments of American society and points out who the supporters and who the critics of global education are and why. James Becker, Jane Boston, Ida Urso, Jan Tucker, Charlotte Anderson and Toni Fuss-Kirkwood, in Chapters Four through Ten respectively, deal with the topics of curriculum, school leadership, teacher development, university-school-partnerships, global education and community, and using global education as a change strategy. Kenneth Tye, in the conclusion, ties the various chapters together by discussing the future of global education as a social movement in the United States.
