Global Community Citizenship (GCC) .5 credit (semester)

Global Community Citizenship (GCC) is an introductory signature course designed to explore the values and diversity of our local, national, and global communities. Through Project Based Learning, students will identify and discuss issues, events, and essential questions relevant to the community which will allow them to understand their role in demonstrating civic virtues. Students will consider the cultural and technological influences that have shaped our modern society and consider how these impact the students’ social options in the future. Students will begin with self-exploration to understand what events, traditions and circumstances have shaped their views, behaviors and goals followed by them exploring the cultures, religions, and traditions of people in our community. Strategies integral to this course include the ability to discuss and debate mature topics and themes respectfully, a level of comfort with a variety of non-print mediums, working collaboratively in groups and participating in multi-disciplinary project based learning. This course meets the graduation requirement for Global Community Citizenship. Additionally, it satisfies one semester of the Signature Explorations 1 requirement for pathway students.
