As part of the online work done at the start of the Teachers for Global Classroom fellowship year, we were asked to create a presentation on global education to give to our colleagues. My presentation started with the very strong sense that because my school is so strongly divided into discipline-based departments--or silos--that it needs to examine those silos and interdisciplinarity side-by-side with the infusion of greater global education within the school's curriculum.
We have had a change of headmasters since this presentation was prepared but the underlying imperative remains the same. I hope this presentation is thought-provoking for readers of this site and prompts discussion about how schools are organized vs. how they may need to be re-thought/re-organized as we get further and further into the globalized 21st century.
