Donate NowNathalie Applewhite and Summer Marion presented the following session at the Asia Society Partnership for Global Learning annual conference in Rockville, Maryland:
From Information to Engagement: Connecting Your Students to Underreported Issues Around the Globe
At the center of global competence is the ability to listen effectively and express one's self clearly with diverse audiences. This session will highlight components of developing strong communication skills in school and during out of school time with a particular emphasis on how these can be interwoven with content-based teaching and learning. The Pulitzer Center has developed interactive interdisciplinary tools to encourage students to learn about critical global issues and become both active consumers and producers of information. Session participants will discover how fresh international reporting is a powerful tool for engaging students, promoting critical thinking, making global-local connections, and expanding their news literacy.
