In this context global implies interconnected, open to engage humanity with all of it similarities and differences

A3) The fact that we are learning how to relate all Ss experiences and not just the country we live in.

I long for the day when the term, "global citizen," is inherently redundant because global-mindedness is the norm
A1 Loved this gem from Monday's summit: " can't be an extra thing on the plate; it should be the plate."
I'm conflicted about "global citizen"- conservatives don't like it. I think internationally it can be used.
A3: Teenagers are moved by social justice & human rights topics, & are particularly motivated by opps for constructive action.
A2: Don't have a strong preference, but I'm interested to read others' thoughts on this.
A3: The linking of local issues to global helps students to engage. I think also relatable issues like childrenās rights.
A3: when it clicks that 'being human' isn't locally centered resonates for SS
A3: for my ESOL students, it's having them see themselves, their heritage, their language, & their culture as assets
A3: & S similarities along w communication, cultural diversity, & creativity.
A2: Globally-minded, Global mindfulness imply that one is tuned in to the global no matter where he or she is geographically

A2: I prefer not to get too preoccupied with nomenclature, lest I lose sight of the point.
A3: Ss can become so passionate when exposed to social justice issues around the world. They connect with other kids.
A3: The humanity, beauty, stories, and connections.
A3 for kids - and and the three Fs - food, festivals and fun!
A3: students like experiences that allow them to connect with other kids as kids, as selves, as persons
A3: The "wow" of seeing something from someone else's perspective....and realizing that that's "cool".
A3 Students are curious about the world; when they see connections between their world & others, they are wowed and engaged
once had a conservative tell me he's more comfortable w/term "citizen living in a globalized world"
A3: Ss want to know how others are, their similarities and differences, they are naturally curious to expand their horizons.
Good question: I'm immersed in but still feel like I'm a work in progress!
A3: also & resonate w Ss be motivational.

Could be spatial or an attitude, but it must rest on negotiated and shared understandings, not one perspective
The desire to be "global ready" and aware is the first step. Caring ā important.

I suppose it's just another version of "imposter syndrome." I could be more global; I am here.

A3: The "wow" of seeing something from someone else's perspective....and realizing that that's "cool".

Q4 - skills for like empathy, language, time abroad
I don't expect to "get there," but I realize that being on here chatting about it doesn't mean I'm global.

A4 when I talked to parents it was child getting necessary skills for interconnected world
A4: Thereās a powerful opportunity in for involvement of community engaged in change making or other āglocalā work.

I would say that chatting about it IS being global. We can't physically get everywhere, but can read,talk,think
Yes, It also encourages us to think about what this might look/sound like inside/outside of our learning cultures.
Which makes a great opportunity for learners to explore ! https://t.co/qwMce0RQPu

A4. Are kids: exploring their world, interacting with it, and seeking positive change with peers in it.
A4: parents today (me included) just wants their kids to be happy, passionate, and kind. Can't ask for much more than that.

From Win-Lose -> Win-Win

Great graphic, what a wonderful way to engage students in a meaningful dialogue about topic. https://t.co/onuBF7YCyT

Skills & dispositions for global mindedness?
Look no further than every school's mission statement!
Rhetoric -> Reality
Thanks & I've learned much from all of you this evening.

The word business bothers me a bit. Can you tell me more about it? Thanks.
A6: I love to travel but hope that in our ever connecting world kids can be globally competent w/o leaving the classroom.
A6) Yeah you can have a desire but not necessarily the means. If you can educate yourself & be open-minded, why aren't you GC?
