Written by university professors attending a summer institute, these course syllabi and modules on global perspectives are intended to be integrated into teacher education programs. Following an introductory article, which discusses what is involved in global education, there are 12 syllabi, some of which are accompanied by a sample teaching lesson or module. Course topics include the following: educating toward a global perspective; ethnic and cultural awareness; comparative education; culture and education; social and cultural influences on education; multicultural education for the elementary teacher; reading and the culturally different child; a geographic approach to global perspectives; global habitat; and global comparisons of world civilizations since 1500. The sample teaching lessons treat many topics such as learning about other cultures through literature, sources of prejudice, how folktales are a reflection of culture, and the future on film. Each syllabus contains information concerning the purpose of the course, objectives, and course structure and organization. One-third of the publication consists of a bibliography. (RM)
