REMAPPING EDUCATION FOR GLOBAL LEARNING: A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY
October 29, 2010
Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont
Facilitated by Caryn McTighe Musil and Kevin Hovland
Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U)

Given the complex challenges of the 21st century, colleges and universities must become more intentional about the kinds of learning students need, as well as the effective educational practices that help students integrate and apply their learning.
Global Learning, as defined by AAC&U’s National Leadership Council for Liberal Education & America’s Promise, is:
“…knowledge focused by engagement with big questions; skills practiced extensively…in the context of progressively more challenging problems, projects and standards for performance; personal and social responsibility anchored through active involvement with diverse communities and real world challenges; and integrative learning demonstrated through the application of knowledge, skills, and responsibilities to new settings and complex problems.”
This day-long workshop invites participation from campus teams aiming to align global learning goals with essential learning outcomes.
Attendees will:
• define the meaning and components of “global learning;”
• investigate the range of high impact pedagogies and curricular and co-curricular practices that enhance global learning;
• build a “smart-grid” among the diversity, civic, student success, and global citizenship movements; and
• identify strategies for integrating a global learning agenda into current institutional goals and initiatives.
