The primary goal of global education is to prepare students to be effective and responsible citizens in a global society. Toward this end, students need to practice real-life skills, gain knowledge of the world, and develop expertise in viewing events and issues from diverse global perspectives.

Research points to four main strategies: multiple perspectives, global interconnectedness, global issues, and cross-cultural experiences. These four strategies are described in this article.
