In our interconnected world, an understanding of global cultures has become a necessity as children are challenged to think and act globally. Our inquiry as educators is on creating instructional strategies that encourage children to develop open-minded perspectives toward ways of living that differ from their own. We invite children to engage in inquiries around specific cultures, while trying to avoid the pitfalls of only exploring surface aspects of a culture and not the deeper values and beliefs that underlie easily observable traditions and actions. Our goal is that children develop an orientation on the world that balances reflection on the known through identifying their loyalties with reflection on the new through developing open-minded perspectives.
In this workshop, the presenters share the instructional strategies and frameworks they have developed in working with elementary children to explore their cultural identities and to engage them in inquiries on specific global cultures, such as Korea and India. These inquiries are supported through global children’s literature and a range of interactive experiences. The presenters will provide examples of children’s use of thinking routines, instructional strategies, and children’s books, as well as engage participants in trying out several strategies.

CERCLL Co-Director Beatrice Dupuy has created the second in a series of modules that examine the complex and rewarding position of the Language Program Director (LPD). These modules are for educators who are interested in becoming postsecondary LPDs or in learning more about what they do.
Planned as a 7-part series, two modules are available now:
* Module 1: Understanding the Roles and Work of Language Program Directors (Kate Paesani, University of Minnesota)
* Module 2: Conceptualizing and Creating the Syllabus (Beatrice Dupuy, University of Arizona, CERCLL Co-Director)
Read more about this project on CERCLL's website here.
This project is created by the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) at the University of Minnesota, in collaboration with the American Association of University Supervisors and Coordinators (AAUSC), the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy (CERCLL) at the University of Arizona, and the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning (COERLL) at the University of Texas at Austin.
