Lincoln has organized its curriculum for
elementary school students emphasizing five global concepts. Integrating
each of these concepts into classroom instruction and activities
can provide young students a solid foundation in thinking globally
and relating issues to their own communities.
Lesson plans and units highlight these following themes:
Interdependence - define the term with students and discuss
ideas of cooperation, learning from and helping each other, and
link to families and neighborhoods.
Change - discuss what has changed in the last year, what
did they study in their international class last year? What
do they expect will change this year? How does this impact
their life?
Scarcity - review the term and have students give examples
from their own lives. Discuss use of school supplies, materials
at home, school, etc.
Power - discuss examples of power in classroom interactions
and peer relations. Compare how the use of power can be negative
and positive.
Culture - outline the meaning of culture and discuss
how this influences each student's lives and perspectives around
the world. Students can share information about their own
particular background.

Soldan International Studies High School
This school offers an Introduction to
International Studies course required of all in-coming freshmen.
This interdisciplinary course has four distinct ten-week components;
Global Studies, World Languages, International Art, and International
Literature. The course emphasizes the connections across
cultures, regions, and peoples. Students rotate to a new component
after completion of each 10-week unit. The first component
includes a two-week orientation section. Members of various
departments teach the course in an effort to build awareness, understanding,
and appreciation of the cultures represented in the school population;
to prepare students for participation in an increasingly culturally
diverse society; and to foster a sense of identity and belonging
to a local culture, the nation, and the world.
