Course Title: "Teaching Leadership for Global Issues."
GYLI and School for International Training (SIT) have partnered to offer an exciting and innovative combination of experiential learning and online interaction. Participants in the course have a direct and concrete way to transfer their experiences from the field into the day to day life of a teacher. Some essential questions of the course are: How can I help myself and my students to make the most of tranformative experiences? How does my teaching and my classroom connect with the world? What is the value of reflecting on my teaching? How can I model reflective learning for my students?
The structure of the course is as follows:
1. 1 day face to face session in Chicago on April 9, 2010, or a TBA date in August, 2010
2. Summer GYLI experience
3. September 2010 to March 2011, online readings, discussions, postings, and reflection activities using Moodle, a web-based learning platform
Elgiblity: The course if open to any public or private school teachers who have participated or will participate in a GYLI program or the
NAIS Institute for Student Leaders in 2007-2010.
This program will be offered at two levels:
1) Graduate Certificate from GYLI and SIT (NOW
FREE)
2) Graduate Credit from SIT (NOW FREE)
"Teaching Leadership for Global Issues" has evolved from the overwhelming enthusiasm of independent school faculty members involved
with GYLI since 2002. They report the program helps develop their vision of community, as they learn how to address complex issues such as
religious pluralism, multi-cultural understanding, environmental sustainability, and empathetic negotation. Whether teachers have a passion for
human rights, non-violent conflict resolution, or caring for the earth, this certificate program will help develop the confidence they need to lead initiatives in their schools and
communities.
