| Abstract | The shift towards an increasing global integration in economic, communications and security matters requires a different perspective in education. Due to the important impact that globalization has had on our economy some educators have responded by expanding the educational opportunities of their students by integrating a globalized curriculum. Schools in California currently address globalization in their curriculum and practices through a variety of definitions and programs with varying outcomes. While much is known about the importance of globalization on education, information is lacking on the curricular elements and organizational structures that support a globalized curriculum. The purpose of the study was to identify curricular elements, supporting organizational structures and their associated student outcomes at a California school that address globalization. This qualitative case study used multiple data-collection methods including surveys, interviews and observations for triangulation. Identified curricular elements include interdisciplinary instruction with 21st Century themes, foreign language and project based learning. Supporting organizational structures included partnerships, student support systems, professional development, and shared leadership. The data showed global citizenship, student efficacy, and problem solving as perceived student outcomes. This case study can provide practitioners with an example of how to incorporate 21st century skills while meeting NCLB mandates. Researchers and policymakers will gain information on the curricular practices that are being successfully implemented to prepare our students for the global economy. This can build the case for future educational policy that incorporates the identified curricular elements and organizational structures so that schools can better prepare 21st century citizens. |
