economics and global issues.
 Equipped with the skills to communicate in languages other
than English to work in cross-cultural teams, and to access
information from different sources from around the world.
 Have the values of respect for other cultures.
2. Create an internationally competitive
education system that are held to world
class standards and benchmarks.
 Incentives should be provided to a country to
benchmark their performance so that policymakers can
examine the highest performing schools and also the
rapid performing countries that will compete for
expertise.
3. Recognizing that knowledge of the world is
not a luxury, but a necessity for every
student.
 Teachers must prepared to introduce global content, world
languages, cultures, and issues to their students.
 Teaching with a global context is not an added burden, but it
can be a driving force in improving student learning, scores
on standards-based tests, and graduation rates.
 Investing in our education leaders and teachers’
capacity to teach the international dimensions of
their subjects.
 provide opportunities for teachers and teacher educators to
acquire the knowledge and skills needed for the 21st century
including: updating their knowledge of world regions,
economics, and global challenges; understanding how to work as
part of international teams to address these challenges; and the
ability to communicate across cultures.
