Center for Global Education
As the effects of globalization bring many changes and challenges to the U.S. and
the world, American educators are forced to develop a new framework. Past models of
citizenship have focused primarily on the knowledge and acquisition of values necessary
for participation in the American system. However, as national boundaries become more
porous through immigration, technology, business and cultural exchanges, more and
more individuals find themselves needing new knowledge and skills to succeed in this
changing environment. The Center strives to advance knowledge of global issues among
teacher candidates, domestic & international educators.
