Standards Based Global Education
IT IS VERY EASY TO MODIFY EXISTING EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS TO MEET A GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL ASPECT. I HAVE PROVIDED SOME EXAMPLES BELOW.
5TH GRADE- CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.3
COMPARE AND CONTRAST TWO OR MORE CHARACTERS, SETTINGS, OR EVENTS IN A STORY OR DRAMA, DRAWING ON SPECIFIC DETAILS IN THE TEXT (E.G., HOW CHARACTERS INTERACT).
WITH EASY MODIFICATIONS STORIES FROM TWO OR MORE CULTURES CAN BE EXAMINED TO COMPARE AND CONTRAST. FABLES ARE SHORT AND EASY TO START WITH.
JAPAN-THE STONE CUTTER
GREEK- KING MIDAS
NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS
USING SCIENCE AS A BRIDGE TO OTHER CULTURES
5TH GRADE--5-ESS3-1.OBTAIN AND COMBINE INFORMATION ABOUT WAYS INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITIES USE SCIENCE IDEAS TO PROTECT THE EARTH’S RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT.
CONDUCT EXPERIMENTS WITH INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM OTHER CULTURES VIA SKYPE OR GOOGLE HANGOUTS. MY CLASS CONDUCTED A PLANT GROWTH EXPERIMENT WHERE SIMILAR BEANS GROWN BY OTHER STUDENTS IN NIGERIA AND GERMANY AND THEN THE PLANTS WERE COMPARED WITH ALL THREE SCHOOLS CONTRIBUTING TO THE OPEN DISCUSSION IN REAL TIME.
OKLAHOMA VISUAL ART STANDARDS
5TH GRADE--STANDARD 2: VISUAL ART HISTORY AND CULTURE:
“RESPONDING” THE STUDENT WILL RECOGNIZE THE DEVELOPMENT OF VISUAL ART FROM A HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE.
DESCRIBE AND PLACE A VARIETY OF SIGNIFICANT VISUAL ART OBJECTS BY ARTIST, STYLE AND HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL CONTEXT.
THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY EASY STANDARD TO GLOBALIZE AS IT LENDS ITSELF TO MULTICULTURAL EXPERIENCES.
