Educating for Global Competence: Preparing Our Students to Engage the World, 2nd Edition by Veronica Boix Mansilla & Anthony W. Jackson (ASCD, 2022)
In a rapidly changing world rife with environmental vulnerabilities and racial inequities, what do students most need to understand to participate in the world's future? That's the question at the heart of this book. Veronica Boix Mansilla and Anthony W. Jackson identify key skills, values, and attitudes that K–12 students must cultivate to thrive and problem-solve in the years ahead.
The book features a practical framework for global competence education built on four dimensions: Examining local, global, and intercultural issues; understanding and appreciating the perspectives of others; engaging in open, appropriate, and effective interactions across cultures; and taking action toward collective well-being and sustainable development.
This new edition also includes updated examples of integrating global competence into curriculum, instruction, and assessment across subject areas. As a potential reference for instructional planning, it offers practical guidance for educators to help young people see the complexities of the world and their role in it.
