There are practical suggestions for all curriculum areas that will provide teachers with examples of how their subject area can move toward a more global approach.  It's not adding more to an already full schedule; it's changing what happens in the classroom to increase student understanding and challenge attitudes and assumptions they have about other nations, cultures, and traditions.  It points the way to forming friendships with students around the world.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Ann Buchino, EdD, has worked at Nativity School for the past 23 years and has been intimately involved with the development of the global education program.
