Learning Global Citizenship: Students and Teachers in Belize and the U.S. Take Action Together

Stephen Sondheim's lyrics from the musical Into the Woods remind us that children are influenced by the adult role models in their lives. As elementary teachers we spend 30 or more hours a week with the children in our classes. Being role models for active global citizenship and including students in our efforts is a powerful way to help children develop an understanding of the world and develop the disposition, skills, and desire to take action as global citizens.
