Globalization affects the educational environment, requiring a sense of international mindedness through cross-cultural awareness and experiential learning. Global literacy expands the traditional social studies approach beyond the study of international geography thus creating and mobilizing a deeper level of international connectedness. For sustained success, teacher leaders must synthesize the notions of cultural literacy and global awareness into a model of global literacy. In this assignment, you will discuss global education.

Write a paper (1,150-1,500 words) in which you discuss global education. Address the following themes with support from the extant literature:

The current status of education in the global arena. How do cultural literacy and global awareness display in the current environment?
The challenges of literacy in the global arena.  Is a model of global literacy possible?
The challenges created by regulation in the global arena. How does regulation influence student outcomes? (Benchmarks C3.3: Evaluate the implications of internal and external regulations on outcomes.)
Proposed means to educate for and in the global community. How should teachers respond to the challenges of a global educational environment? (Benchmarks C4.2: Develop a response to the challenges and opportunities of teaching and learning inherent in a global environment.)
