Teaching and Learning

The Department of Public Instruction works closely with school districts, institutions of higher education, and national initiatives to ensure that:

• Teachers have the skills and knowledge to teach their content area within an international or global context;
• Curricula in the content areas provide the framework for teaching, learning, and problem solving in a global context;
• State model academic standards in all content areas include an international dimension;
• Teacher preparation includes requirements for study-abroad and global studies;
• Professional development opportunities are available to teachers through workshops and international study experiences; and,
• Teachers use available technology to connect with schools around the world to create project-based cooperative learning scenarios.
