Global Source Education presents "Teaching Globalization across
Boundaries: Considering a New Civics", the second annual National
Institute for Secondary Educators, Seattle, WA, July 23-27, 2001.

Are you interested in teaching about the global economy in your classroom?
This five-day institute will focus on an inter-disciplinary approach to
teaching about economic and social globalization in grades 6-14. Join
community and business leaders, master teachers, and other experts to
examine multiple perspectives on globalization issues and learn how to
bring these critical debates into the classroom. Themes and practices we
will explore include: Globalization 101, corporate accountability, labor
studies, human rights education, globalization across academic
disciplines, and reaching students of color and immigrant populations.
There will be an emphasis on engaging students in civic participation,
including service-learning strategies and resources. Share and learn best
teaching practices with other educators who care about how globalization
is affecting our lives and those of their diverse student populations.

The daily sessions will take place at the Seattle University School of Law
and optional events will be hosted at various community locations.
Participants will obtain an extensive, multi-media starter library package
on various globalization topics, along with a 300+ page course handbook,
books, videos, and other support materials for the classroom. Educators
will be eligible to earn between 2-5 continuing education credits and 30
clock hours. The cost of the program plus materials is heavily subsidized
for teachers at a rate of $295. For more information and registration
