LITERACY IN THE GLOBAL CLASSROOM – Dr. George Otero

To be functionally literate in today's world with the increasingly rapid rate of change and the dynamics of
interdependence working on each of us, we must develop the ability to critically read and think about our global
society and our role in such a changing world. This guide is designed as an activity supplement for secondary
teachers interested in helping students in years 6-12 improve their ability to critically read content materials. In
addition to activities that emphasise basic skills, the activities also present concepts, content and issues important to the development within students of a global perspective about themselves and their world. The activities are organised into topical units which deal with specific reading and thinking skills related to the teaching of subject matter materials.

TEACHABLE MOMENTS: Learning to Live in a Global Society. George Otero

"There is a saying that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Unfortunately, it is too often the case
today that the teacher has predetermined what is to be learnt, and the student had better be ready to learn it,
without any explanation as to the relevance of the subject to the student's life. Teachable Moments may turn our ideas on teaching and learning upside down. It is student-oriented. It moves us into the students' world and
challenges us to teach from there."

The author Dr George Otero is the founder and director of Las Palomas, a multicultural and global education
learning centre. In both the US and Australia, George has provided the impetus for a review of current teaching and learning approaches, with a particular emphasis on world issues and trends, building student leadership, and the capacity for change. Paperback, 179pp
