Students must now compete in a rapidly changing, globalized world, where global-cultural competence, thinking and collaboration are required for career success. Yet, a 2013 Gallup poll found that most U.S. young adults did not learn in school the real-world thinking or collaboration skills they need to compete. Learning sciences (including cognitive, social and cultural neuroscience), along with new global school models, are providing insights into ways to promote “world-class” skills and schools. Discover ways to use the learning sciences and successful international school models to develop thinking, global-cultural competence and collaboration skills so your students are better prepared for a competitive, changing, globalized world.
