Vision
Current global events underscore the need for programs that offer the opportunity to explore how best to prepare our students to live in an international, global world environment. How are schools addressing the need to educate their students to become informed and responsible world citizens? And what are the values, knowledge and skills our children will need?
The Center for International Education (CIE) will meet this need. CIE will be:
- A convener of like-minded schools interested in issues of global importance and a desire to take action in their schools. (See the Symposium area.)
- A provider of learning and serving opportunities in developing countries where teacher-student teams can learn more about sustainable development and how schools can help. (See the LearnServe area.)
- A facilitator of information, providing connections to resources and forum-discussion groups for teachers and students interested in leaning more about how their schools can take action and become more involved in global issues. (See the Forum area.)
