In particular, this course will explore what it means to be globally aware; the pedagogies and e-technologies behind authentic, humanizing approaches to global education; design strategies and TIG tools which can be used to empower students as learners and leaders; theme-based and interdisciplinary approaches which enrich students' experiences and help connect humans' challenges across the globe; the cultivation of students' cross-cultural leadership skills; and ways schools can create a culture of global leadership and change."
