Also, what a person does has a global trickle down and can affect many areas and people they have never seen or even know of. Learn everything you can about the world and embrace diversity in all things. ]]> 2017-10-08 19:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/radkem/sax3l4wll9t3/wish/195036293 radkem https://padlet.com/radkem/sax3l4wll9t3/wish/195037055 Indeed science does rule, it is the international language (along with math, can't have science without math). Chemistry, physics, biology, and environmental systems and societies are all important to each other, you can't have one without the other and none of these fields is study in or originated in only one place on Earth. The group 4 encourages students to look at what is happening and what has happened not only all over Earth but all throughout the universe. It teaches students that there are places we know little about and even the places and theories we have a lot of information on are changing everyday. I think this idea prepares students for being a global citizen because the field brings so many different people places and things together. ]]> 2017-10-08 19:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/radkem/sax3l4wll9t3/wish/195037055 radkem https://padlet.com/radkem/sax3l4wll9t3/wish/195037780 We currently have students from many communities, cultures, and nationalities, in addition to the text and curriculum being created by teachers from across the globe. Having these common standards and materials set in place allows students to travel all over and receive their education where they left off. I don't have to tell you this is not the case in most school systems. I have worked in three different schools now and from one to the next the curriculum and requirements are all different, and these school are less than 30 miles apart. To me this makes no sense, but the IB programme works for students and promotes global citizenship. ]]> 2017-10-08 19:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/radkem/sax3l4wll9t3/wish/195037780 radkem https://padlet.com/radkem/sax3l4wll9t3/wish/195038319 I need to help my students make connections with their communities and communities across the globe. The IB curriculum really helps me out here, in previous schools I was not encouraged to teach about things like evolution or global warming, because of the controversy surrounding them. With IB I get to teach the students not only the evidence behind these theories but also the controversy surrounding them and think about what is happening globally right now and in the past. I help to do this by using what my students are interested in and tracing it across the globe.]]> 2017-10-08 19:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/radkem/sax3l4wll9t3/wish/195038319 radkem https://padlet.com/radkem/sax3l4wll9t3/wish/195038802 Current events is something that you usually use in a social studies classroom, however this year with the crazy weather patterns and forest fires I was able to incorporate it into my lessons. Students brought in headlines and we traced them to other weather events happening in the world. What is causing these to happen???]]> 2017-10-08 19:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/radkem/sax3l4wll9t3/wish/195038802
