Abstract

Presenters recognize need for fundamental changes in approach & preparation of 21st century educators. Panelists discuss key challenges in preparing globally-skilled teachers beyond a one-course program requirement. A practical framework, based on each panelist’s research, is presented - providing sequenced learning experiences throughout program courses to allow teacher candidates to progressively acquire what is needed to engage K-12 students in global, interactive understanding and activities. Three program strands-dispositions, content & technology skills-help candidates embrace global perspectives & engage counterparts from other countries, while developing K-12 curriculum modules, collaborating with global technology tools-Web 2.0, multimedia & learning management systems. Panel will continually interact with the audience to determine what framework integration into their own efforts to develop more globally informed teachers & powerful global, student experiences.
