Educating for Global Citizenry
Tuesday November 17, 2009, 2:15 - 3:15 pm
Presenters: Lee Pan, Principal, International High School, Max Rodriguez (Education and Language Acquistion), Rudy Meangru (Mathematics, Engineering and Computer Science)/p>
As we begin to move forward on the four strategic directions from last year's vision summit, one of our first challenges is to define what it means to educate for a global citizenry. Our vision for 2014, borrowed from the work of the AAC&U in this area, states:
"LaGuardia's graduates are prepared to become effective global citizens with intercultural competencies that enable them to move across boundaries and unfamiliar territory and see the world from multiple perspectives."
We decided to turn for help to the College's sometimes hidden partner, the International High School.
The International High School has excelled at designing creative curricula and innovative pedagogy to help all their recently-arrived immigrant students embrace diversity. The school has had students successfully draw on their native languages/cultures by embedding these rich assets into project-based activities, connections to community based organizations, experiential learning, and collaborative work with college faculty.
Please join Lee Pan, Principal of International High School, some of her faculty and students, and two of her LaGuardia partners, Max Rodriguez (ELA) and Rudy Meangru (Math), for a fascinating discussion of how they are providing an educational experience with global views and preparing their students to become effective global citizens.

The topics for these faculty-led Brown Bag discussions fall into four categories:
The Art of Teaching |
Teaching and Learning with
Technology |
Arts Across the Curriculum |
Diversity Across the Curriculum |
| What new approaches are we experimenting with in our
classrooms? What are we learning? What's effective? Let's
take the time to talk and learn from one another. |
Building out from the ePortfolio and DFL seminars, this series will
give you a chance to see what your colleagues are doing
with technology in the classroom, and provide opportunities
to discuss what works with LaGuardia students. |
Hear and discuss how faculty bring the Arts into courses and curricula to enliven learning and advance student literacy. The Center is interested in helping to strengthen the integration of Arts into curricula, and plans to expand this strand of the series into a faculty development seminar in the near future. |
LaGuardia is home to an on-going dialogue about diversity. The focus of this strand of the discussion series will be on utilizing the diversity in our classrooms to strengthen and enrich learning.
