The Mission Statement of Prosser Career Academy (Chicago, IL) states: Prosser Career Academy is an institution devoted to providing young people with opportunities to explore their place in a global community. We encourage students to extend their world and become independent learners who achieve their dreams. We emphasize Education to Careers and International Baccalaureate coursework to develop the knowledge and skills needed for our students to be successful on the paths that they choose. Furthermore, we meet the social, emotional, cultural, and ethnic diversity needs of our community.
Global Education: education that gives students the knowledge and skills to be successful in the 21st century; these skills include being open-minded and recognizing the realities of a global world, being able to investigate the world and weight perspectives, communicating ideas effectively, taking action, and applying disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge (Asia Society, "Global Competence")
Rationale for Global Education: Global warming, internet and technology, and politics is making our world smaller. It is extremely important that our students know about the world, geography, important global issues, and have been taught how to communicate across cultures in order for them to be successful in the future. This website provides a stepping stone to help teachers integrate these skills into their curriculum.
Purpose of this website: This website is primarily for teachers, faculty, and students at Prosser Career Academy to promote global education in all subject areas.
