Responsible global citizenship
requires an innovative approach to instruction. The overall concept behind our Global Education Centre is to provide a service which enables teachers to develop a multi-disciplinary, Constructivist approach utilizing a "Teaching for Understanding" framework. Our premise is that intense intellectual, artistic and scientific exploration of significant global themes across the disciplines will enhance our humanity, develop essential characteristics of citizenship and enable students to play a positive role in promoting democratic ideals at home and abroad. The Newfoundland and Labrador Global Education Centre (NLGEC) aims to empower teachers to "think local and act global". Our goal is to provide a model which is practical and theoretically sound. We hope that this website will serve as a guide which teachers can adapt according to curriculum outcomes, teaching styles and Multiple Intelligences theory to instill humane values in an increasingly complex world.
