Introduction: How To Use This Guide
The Stillwater Area Schools Strategic Road Map identifies our core mission as ensuring "a rigorous and relevant education where all learners are valued, positive relationships are developed and students are prepared for life-long learning in a global society" and includes the belief statement that "valuing the strength found in a diverse world is essential to high quality learning".
In their book, Educating for Global Competence: Preparing Our Youth to Engage the World, authors Veronica Boix-Mansilla and Anthony Jackson state:
Globally competent individuals are aware, curious, and interested in learning about the world and how it works. They can use the big ideas, tools, methods, and languages that are central to any discipline (mathematics, literature, history, science, and the arts) to engage the pressing issues of our time.
Global education, therefore, strives to create globally competent learners across the curriculum and school experience. By selecting the "More ..." tab at the top of the page, you will find tools to assess progress, access to high quality teacher, classroom and student resources and reflections based on my TGC experience. It is my hope that you find this guide both inspirational and practical, in particular as we work towards developing the next Strategic Plan for District 834 and implementing new Minnesota State Standards.
