Educating for Global Citizenship in a Changing World

global context. It will be helpful to teachers who are considering ways
to critically infuse global perspectives into classes or school-wide
programs. Topics include creating inclusive classrooms for global
perspectives, investigating public issues, social justice and human
rights, and getting involved as global citizens. This resource was
developed by Toronto area teachers with assistance from CIDA. It also
includes a very useful chapter on web resources for the classroom.

plans that contribute to developing in students a global perspective.
