Course Scope and Goals for Introduction to Global Studies
This one-year, theme-based course is intended to provide students with an opportunity to explore globalization locally and internationally. Students are provided with a basic understanding of the interdependence of nations as well as the cultural and ethnic diversity of the world. Students examine the history, culture, geography, economics, and politics of each region and examine various international issues. Emphasis is placed on observation, description, and analysis. This course develops effective communication skills and promotes critical thinking through reading, reflective writing, public speaking, cooperative groups, simulations, and other modes of learning. Instructional practices incorporate integration of diversity awareness including appreciation of all cultures and their important contributions to our society. The appropriate use of technology is an integral part of this course. This course fulfills one of the elective credits required for high school graduation and may count towards the College and Career Ready Flex Credit requirements for the Standard Diploma.
