Teachers need to be preparing their pupils for their roles as world citizens in the 21st century.
How can new teachers learn to incorporate a global perspective into the curriculum and teach in ways that encourage co-operation, critical thinking and democratic values and practices? How do they find out how to help children deal with prejudice and value diversity, to develop self-esteem and a commitment to justice and sustainable development?

This is the first book which examines in detail how this can be done. It highlights approaches to education for global understanding that have been developed during the recent years of change in teacher education. The outcome of a unique collaboration between teacher educators and development agencies, the book draws on a wide range of experience and perspectives from individuals and organisations working for justice in national and international contexts.

The book is a vital resource for students, lecturers, teacher mentors and policy makers in education and voluntary organisations.
Foreword by Tim Brighouse.
