WHAT IS GLOBAL COMPETENCY?

“A global-ready graduate [is] a person with a grasp of global systems, global issues, the dynamics of how things are interrelated and interconnected in the world, and how society can best address global issues.” - Ron Moffatt, Director of the San Diego State University International Student Center

“The skills to listen, observe and evaluate, analyze, interpret, and relate.” - Darla K. Deardorff, Director of Duke University’s International Education Administrators Assc.

“The ability to be fluent in at least one other language, such as Spanish or Mandarin; fluency with e-commerce and the Internet; a well-versed knowledge of geography; and, maybe most important, some knowledge of the political and cultural history of one or two countries or regions outside of Western Europe.” - Carol Conway, Director of the Southern Global Strategies Council

//Literacy has always been a collection of cultural and communicative practices shared among members of particular groups. As society and technology change, so does literacy. Because technology has increased the intensity and complexity of literate environments, the twenty-first century demands that a literate person possess a wide range of abilities and competencies, many literacies. These literacies—from reading online newspapers to participating in virtual classrooms—are multiple, dynamic, and malleable. As in the past, they are inextricably linked with particular histories, life possibilities, and social trajectories of individuals and groups. Twenty-first century readers and writers need to// //• Develop proficiency with the tools of technology// //• Build relationships with others to pose and solve problems collaboratively and// //cross-culturally// //• Design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of// //purposes// //• Manage, analyze, and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous// //information// //• Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multimedia texts// //• Attend to the ethical responsibilities required by these complex environments//

I define global competency as the knowledge and skills people need to understand today's flat world and to integrate across disciplines so that they can comprehend global events and create possibilities to address them. Global competencies are also the attitudinal and ethical dispositions that make it possible to interact peacefully, respectfully, and productively with fellow human beings from diverse geographies (Reimers, 2009). http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational-leadership/sept09/vol67/num01/Leading-for-Global-Competency.aspx
