In the classroom, how can we go about enacting global citizenship? What might it look like when you're starting out with your students? What does it look like when it's being done well? A new Global Citizenship Education Monitoring Toolkit has been released to explore and answer these questions. Developed in partnership by ACER and UNESCO Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding, the toolkit is designed for use by teachers, school leaders and education systems. Today, ACER Senior Research Fellow, Rachel Parker, joins us to take us through the 4-phase inquiry-based learning cycle that is the central mechanism of the toolkit, how teachers and school leaders can use it, and also share some background on how the toolkit was developed. Guest: Rachel Parker Host: Dominique Russell Sponsor: This podcast is supported by Sora, the student reading platform that provides access to curriculum and popular digital books for schools.

In this episode, Dr. Timothy Messer-Kruse, Professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies at BGSU, and a Spring 2024 Faculty Fellow with ICS, discusses his latest research on the history of civics education in the United States. He argues that the goal behind civics is to teach certain behaviors (i.e. how to be a good citizen) instead of teaching knowledge and facts. Listen to him as he delves into the history of the very idea that we need to teach people how to be (good) citizens, its ties to racist prejudices against different populations and their ideas of citizenship, and the emergence of a "civics industrial complex."

This week, Sarah talks about global citizenship in education and explores the often-overlooked stories and practices that permeate teaching, focusing on critical thinking, conflict resolution, and intercultural understanding. Ryan talks about an article from Edutopia that challenges common educational myths, "task-related drawing” and "round robin reading" as a more effective instructional approach.

Why is it important to register for the municipal elections? Minister Corinne Cahen, Serge Wilmes and Michèle Schilt tackle this question. On my show this week we dig into why it's important (nay - imperative) that we register to vote in our municipal elections. I'm joined by Minister Corinne Cahen, Minister for Family Affairs and Integrations, and Minister for the Greater Region; Serge Wilmes, first Alderman in Ville de Luxembourg; and Michèle Schilt, Deputy Director of the Zentrum fir politesch Bildung (Centre for Citizenship Education). Minister Cahen talks passionately about the I Can Vote campaign. She is doing all she can to raise awareness around why we should vote, and actually, it's mandatory in Luxembourg. The ministry has put huge effort into trying to educate citizens on how to vote, why it's important and what change it can effect. You can find out more on the Letz Vote site, Integration in Luxembourg, the official website on elections in general by the Government, statistics on elections and more information about the political system in Luxembourg. Serge Wilmes is young, vibrant and hugely energetic about working for the City of Luxembourg. He is full of ideas of how to improve a city he clearly loves and is very open to the international community who make up, by far, the people who live in the city. Michèle Schilt tells us about Super-Wal-Kiermes, a fairground stand that focuses on democratic principles, elections and the responsibilities of a municipality through fun and thought. So, as they all said, register to vote today and make your voice heard!

Wednesday, Dec 15, 2021 8:00 AM EST - 9:00 AM EST Online only   Join the conversation on Twitter using #21CSAssessment Education initiatives to advance progress on U.N. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 4.7 on global citizenship education—focused on ensuring learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, human rights, gender equality, and a culture of peace and nonviolence—have never been more critical in today's  interconnected world, particularly given the global health, social, and environmental challenges. Countries' initiatives to transform education in this direction represent hopeful steps toward creating a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world. A particular conundrum, though, is how to report and measure country efforts in global citizenship education across diverse cultures and systems to ensure successful classroom implementation. What steps can governments take to devise appropriate indicators—or metrics—to monitor progress toward global citizenship and other aspects of Target 4.7, especially in resource-constrained education settings? On December 15, the Center for Universal Education (CUE) hosted the final virtual event in a three-part series centered around the assessment of 21st century skills. Building off the previous events on measuring 21st century skills in mainstream education and at the household level to help advocate for education policy change, this last event examined the pilot of a monitoring initiative involving Gambia, Bhutan, and Costa Rica, and discussed approaches to creating appropriate definitions and descriptions of global citizenship skills in the Asia-Pacific region as a possible precursor to the development of indicators for assessing their implementation in schools and classrooms. After short presentations on the value of regional platforms for monitoring initiatives, the emergent “transformative education” perspective, and work supported by the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU), the panelists discussed the implications of developing a regional assessment framework for global citizenship.

We speak with Carlos Alberto Torres, Distinguished Professor at UCLA. Dr. Torres worked closely with Paulo Freire and now directs the UCLA Paulo Freire Institute. He argues that we need to create a model of ethics education that combines social justice and natural justice, or sustainability. Freire viewed the planet as an oppressed entity. We talk about creating a political culture in our schools that centers peace and the global commons, what in other places is called civic culture. Part one of a two-part interview.

In this episode, Namrata Sharma discusses the existing connections between Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship Education (GCE). She talks about her work examining the underlying paradigms and perspectives of GCE and ESD, and how she situates her studies within the wide-ranging scholarship that challenges the overall western-view of GCE. She also mentions the books that she has written where she proposes value-creating GCE as a pedagogical approach that she has developed from a study of less widely known perspectives, especially focusing on important contributions that come from eastern thinkers. Sharma illustrates these ideas with the example of Soka University, an institution which she believes successfully fosters global citizens. Finally, she makes connections between GCE and The Earth Charter, and how this document is helpful and complimentary to creating global citizens through ESD.

Can those fancy vibration platforms at your health club or gym really help you burn fat or lose weight, and is there any research behind that? Is there any significant hormonal response to whole body vibration (WBV)? What is the effect of vibration training on cardiovascular fitness, and how would it be used for that? Any effect on lymph fluid or immune health, similar to a trampoline/rebounder? How about for muscle recovery or delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)?  How does one actually use a vibration platform the right way? Can you stack WBV with other so-called "biohacking" modalities, such as photobiomodulation, EWOT, isometric training, etc?         Jason M. Conviser, Ph.D., MBA, FACSM, is my guest on today's podcast to answer all these questions and more.       He is the Chief Science Officer for Performance Health Systems and with a long history in vibration research, the health and wellness industry, sport medicine, metabolic syndrome and bringing health care to the general public outside of a clinical environment. He has a Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology/Cardiac Rehabilitation and an MA in Exercise Physiology. He is a Fellow of American College of Sports Medicine, Medical Fitness Association,  Medical Wellness Association and serves on the Power Plate Sport Medicine Advisory Board, Life Fitness Sports Medicine Advisory Board, National Commission on Reform of Secondary Education and National Task Force on Citizenship Education.       He has also authored over 45 articles in scientific journals, trade publications and large distribution newspapers and is past consultant and exercise physiologist for the Duchess of York.       During our discussion, you'll discover: -How Ben and Jason use vibration platforms at home...7:00         -How to use a vibration platform to burn fat...9:35         -Endocrine responses to WBV...         -How the body is better prepared for a workout after using WBV...24:25         -Ideal length and frequency of WBV sessions...34:00         -The efficacy of WBV on cardiovascular fitness...40:25         -The effect of WBV on lymph fluid circulation, improved immunity, etc...47:10         -Research and best practices on increased recovery potential w/ WBV...50:45         -Best practices while using a vibration platform...1:02:00         -Other modalities that combine well w/ WBV...1:07:30         -And much more!       Episode sponsors: Kion Decaf Coffee, Joovv, Water and Wellness, Seed Daily Synbiotic

With the rising interest in GCE, understanding the current research landscape could be useful for policy-makers, educators and scholars who seek to build upon the existing body of knowledge and develop it in new directions. The global increase of the incorporation of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) related contents in education systems in recent decades has generated a vast body of scholarship, both empirical and theoretical. An explanation for the rise in GCE internationally is often described as a response to economic, social and political changes that have made countries more interconnected through enhanced international mobility and financial interdependency. Globalization is claimed to lead to more diverse societies that require engagement with broader, more inclusive conceptions of citizenship, thus leading to the need of incorporation GCE into national curricula to various extents. As scholarship in this field had developed accordingly, there is a need for a systematic analysis of the topics and sub-fields that emerged and examined within this broad concept. We performed a systematic review of research dealing with Global Citizenship Education (GCE) between 2006-2017 using Natural Language Processing (NLP) followed by network analysis to record and interpret the development of this field of research and highlight the trajectories of the current academic scholarship within teachers' education. The analysis showed how studies surrounding GCE being discussed in the scholarship, forming intricate, and encompassing distinct areas such as education for sustainable development and critical thinking. We also highlight some notable omissions in the contemporary research, topics that appear to be under-represented in the research on GCE. Considering the rising interest in GCE, understanding the current research landscape could be useful for policy-makers, educators and scholars who seek to build upon the existing body of knowledge and develop it in new directions.

Welcome to Finance and Fury, The Furious Friday edition.  This is part 4 of the series around the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.  Going through the first SDG today – SDG4 – Education If you haven’t listened to the first 3 – Maybe go back and check it out as today – finish the first part on people – So far gone through the UN, media, and trauma-based society Previous episodes: Part 1 UN Part 2 Media Part 3 Trauma-based society Today – Do a quick overview on SDG 4 - Education - Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all Run through the history of education – look at education model today – Look at current formal education as part of the SDG4 – how it is being implemented and by who within Australia Education for sustainable development (ESD) is explicitly recognized in the SDGs as part of Target 4.7 of the SDG on education UN hopes to educate children on the importance of the SDGs - “By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development,” – Long statement – lets break this down This job is given to UNESCO promotes the Global Citizenship Education (GCED) as a complementary approach They State that it is important to emphasize the importance for this in relation to the other 16 SDGs Why? Where does education fit in with climate change, how we live, sustainable economy, and the rest? UN says it enable individuals to contribute to sustainable development by promoting societal, economic and political change as well as by transforming their own behaviour Remember from the first episode in the series on Julian Huxley - Quote from founder about changing public minds – again it starts with the people – people need to willingly do this Global citizenship education(GCE) is a form of civic learning that involves students' active participation in projects that address global issues of a social, political, economic, or environmental nature Civic Learning - the study of the theoretical, political and practical aspects of citizenship, the study of government with attention to the role of citizens―as opposed to external factors―in the operation and oversight of government – political action through advocacy - The two main elements – 'global consciousness'; the moral or ethical aspect of global issues, 'global competencies', or skills meant to enable learners to participate in changing and developing the world Definitions mean a lot – words have different meanings to them – Whether and weather – sounds the same but spelt differently – but what skills are needed to change the world? Protest or advance engineering? – Both have a chance of changing the world – to what end? The UN admits they don’t know – as progress is difficult to track: 75 percent of countries have no (or insufficient data) to track progress towards SDG4 Which are targets for learning outcomes (target 1), early childhood education (target 2), and effective learning environments. Data on learning outcomes and pre-primary school are particularly scarce; 70 percent and 40 percent of countries lack adequate data for these targets, respectively - This makes it hard to analyse and identify the children at greatest risk of being left behind. Left behind – No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) brought test-based school accountability to scale across the United States Maths and Reading – 71% of schools spending more time on these neglecting other subjects – Doing more tests – focused repetitive leaving on reading and maths – not learning outside of repetition Whatever the government teaches kids can either be good for the kids or good for the Government – Kids - where they become independent strong capable people ready to conquer the world and form a network of friend’s family and neighbours to provide support. But this heavily reduces the reliance of the individuals and by extensions communities on the Government, as if everyone was out following what they discovered how to do on their own to provide value, versus a system that at the core was no different to the slave/peasantry class in Rome, or factory workers in the 19th century provide an education system in a way where Stop and think about the education system – 12 years of schooling – choose a career or to go to uni - Go to uni – select one degree – Probably get a HECS debt – so by the time you come out – one career path then to follow – spending years to pay back debt at reduced income - or go back to uni – more debt   Let’s go back a little way to the late 1940s China – Mao – needed to create people with new loyalties, new motivations, and new concepts of individual and group life Education was recognized as playing a strategic role in achieving this Used to create revolutionaries ready to fight against the old society and establish a new order and, at the same time, to bring up a new generation of workers to take up the multitudinous tasks of development and modernization – in the form of collectivisation farming/factory work The People’s Republic of China generally makes no distinction between education and propaganda or indoctrination - share the common task of changing people Under this system - the schools constitute only a small part of the educational program – TV, news, movies – all were used – remoulding the behaviour, emotions, attitudes, and outlook of the people But this new Chinese Government had no education experience – so borrowed from their Northern neighbours – Soviets The Soviet model was the Sino-Soviet Friendship Association (SSFA), inaugurated in October 1949 Stalin – Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.   The real struggle here is between what is education, and what is propaganda. Biggest influences on the education models were based on the fascist/communist states at the time – Socialist states where education was mandatory, free and you only taught what the government told you to. Why?   The education programs – global citizenship programs – not taught how to think but what to think – Rise and repeat programming how to become social advocates – or tools used to subvert democracy - First is Education or re-education Pretty simple when you break down the core drivers – promoting problems to solve through global advocacy – inequality between developed and developing countries, social unrest, fears of melting alive from global warming – Lots of education is needed to achieve the 17 SDGs –– isn’t on the fringe – regardless about however hearing about it - policies are signed on to implement by 193 countries almost 4 years ago   In Australia High Resolves is a secondary school educational initiative - implemented by the Foundation for Young Australians Consisting of a Global Citizenship Programme for Year 8 students and a Global Leadership Programme for Year 9 and 10 students. It aims to enable students to consider their personal role in developing their society as a global community through workshops, simulations, leadership skills training and hands-on action projects – bussing to protests against Adani From their website - High Resolves designs and delivers award-winning learning experience – break down this ‘fuel a powerful personal transformation that inspires an individual to think, feel and act in the long-term collective interest, more and more often’ collective interests = someone doesn’t share views – not in a group – social control through isolation ‘reframe their long-term memory through an immersive peak experience, which is reinforced through repeated practice and application in the real world over time’ which over time contributes to our collective transformation towards a more just, equitable and inclusive world thanks to a growing generation of global citizens who think, feel and act in the long-term collective interest of humanity, and leaders who inspire others to do the same   Sounds nice – but is Describing brainwashing and social control? The process by which individual or collective freedom of choice and action is compromised by agents or agencies that modify or distort perception, motivation, affect, cognition or behavioural outcomes All human being is susceptible to such manipulation – not a process that is directly observable – doesn’t work if you can see what is going on But repetition is an integral part of these techniques because connections between neurons become stronger when exposed to incoming signals of frequency and intensity   Heuristics – makes life easier – way to survive See a hot pan you know not to touch it – hear someone’s name you don’t like through repeated experiences or stories told by others Through education – the association between free markets and greedy bourgeoise middle class can be made This type of Formal education – not how to think but what to think – One thing that I never really thought about – in this podcast – hope to inform you on things – education – run through what, how, where, etc. – never tell you what to do – in finance especially – would be sued if I did – I don’t believe education should tell you what to do – but give you skills to think for yourself I talk about finance, economic, policy, politics, etc – the question of ‘how does this affect me’ is something that I can’t answer – Everyone is different – so depends on where you sit and what your goals are – But the reason that it is hard to take useful information and apply it into your own life to make decisions is due to the education you are provided – I was provided – we are all taught in this way – waiting to be given the right answer Science, maths, models – given models and then need to use them to get X – know how the models work? English – based around what the educators think Shakespeare or other poets meant – if it was personal interpretation = everyone should get an A+   What to do – if you have kids in school? Pay attention to what they are taught – not the same as you Check it isn’t creating trauma – someone who I work with – Black Crow book – fiction about time travel – but frames white Australians as evil and not something to live up to – one girl in the class said they are ashamed to be white – This is collectivised guilt – by-product of false memories and trauma induced guilt for something these kids haven’t done   That is a summary of SDG 4 – and bring a wrap to the people side of SDGs – Next episode – Start on the Economy - Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all Explore SDG 8,9,10   Thanks for listening – if you liking content – let me know – review on iTunes – if you have any questions or want to get in contact you can do so here.  Resources: Theory of change - https://highresolves.org/our-theory-of-change/  

The workshop was led by Mrs. Gray and based on Primary PSHCE. PSHCE is an abbreviation for Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education and the interactive session included information about how we teach and what we teach. It also discussed how PSHCE happens naturally throughout the school day and is part of our school Vision.

Intersectionality is probably one of my favorite words of all time. In this episode, we will be covering some aspects of our identity that we may forget and overlook now and then when we're initiating dialogues about our struggles. Originally, I wanted to talk about how solely class plays a role in our lives, but my friend (who will be remained anonymous during this interview) and I learned that you just can't talk about class without talking about other identity x-factors (i.e. citizenship status and education).   Follow Project Voice: www.projectvoiceaaw.com facebook.com/projectvoiceaaw twitter.com/projectvoiceaaw projectvoiceaaw@gmail.com

Global citizenship education is an idea you’ve probably heard about.  It’s fairly straightforward as an abstract concept. Much attention on global citizenship education today is to ensure that certain values are taught in school despite the ever-growing demands on students from subjects like Science, Math, and Language. But how can global citizenship education be measured? What tools exist to incorporate global citizenship education across the curriculum? That’s much more difficult. The Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution, UNESCO, and the UN Secretary General’s education first initiative youth advocacy group convened a working group of 88 people to catalog practices and tools in use around the world that measure global citizenship education. They found some innovative ways to measure the concept. With me today is Jasodhara Bhattacharya. She was one of the lead members of working group from Brookings, which resulted in a report entitled Measuring Global Citizenship Education: A Collection of Practices and Tools. www.freshedpodcast.com

Today: global citizenship education. What is global citizenship education and how is it practiced? And what is the relationship between national citizenship and global citizenship? Are they compatible? My guest today is Miri Yemini, an Honorary Visiting Lecturer at the Institute of Education at University College London and a Lecturer in the School of Education at Tel Aviv University She has recently published a book entitled Internationalization and Global Citizenship in Education.

That's it!  My reputation, my career, my possibility of getting into a good university is over.  All because of some silly things I posted online. This is sometimes the conversation we fear having with others about something we said online.  Or more likely, something one of our students said online.Today I talk with Susan Bearden author of Digital Citizenship: A Community-Based Approach, about this very scenario and much more. We cover what digital citizenship means, what it looks like in practice, a few resources that are available online and what the future of it all might look like.Connect with Susan @s_bearden SusanMBearden.comBioSusan M.
