Extractions: Information Literacy Blog Practical Suggestions for Teaching Global Education. ERIC Digest. by Taylor, Howard Eugene Teachers may be convinced of the need to teach for a global perspective, but are often at a loss when confronted with everyday concerns about teaching global education. A literature review reveals a preoccupation with implementing global education with preservice and inservice teacher education programs. Missing from the literature is a significant perspective of teachers knowledge resulting from classroom experiences with global education. This Digest draws on current practices in global education to provide teachers with practical suggestions regarding instructional and technological resources as well as the use of cooperative learning for teaching global education. PRACTICAL RESOURCES FOR TEACHING GLOBAL EDUCATION Community-based Teachers and colleagues Cross-cultural experiences of teachers and their colleagues are another readily accessible instructional resource (Merryfield, 1995; Taylor, 1995; Gilliom, 1993). By identifying colleagues who have studied/taught abroad, participated in various international activities, engaged in international travel, and have family members living overseas or spouses with military experience, teachers can open a door to a world of experiences that address a variety of interests, beliefs, and practices of other cultures. Teachers can identify colleagues' cross-cultural experiences by conducting an informal survey. Through collaboration with colleagues, teachers can increase the potential for developing integrated global units, creating global support networks, and conducting global service learning projects (e.g., organizing hunger drives for oversees operations, purchasing acres of rain forest, and collecting school supplies for students in other countries).
