Integrating Global Perspectives into the Curriculum

Abstract

Curricula, across the world, aim to define what society values in education. This presentation investigates how global perspectives may be valued and included in curriculum design and how curricula can be future focussed with the intention of preparing students for a world that is unpredictable and in a constant state of change. Designing curricula to promote social justice, universal conceptual understandings, interdisciplinarity, and teacher agency are potential ways in which global connectivity can be enhanced through well-considered curricula design.
