Additionally, the substance of education can provide an international and multi-cultural perspective. For instance, a student of literature is deprived of much great writing and thought if only exposed to the works of British and American writers. Students will solve problems more creatively when they consider opinions and alternatives that represent differing races, cultures, ages and genders. Diversity in faculty, staff, administrators, student bodies and curriculum will help our institutions become more exemplary and our state become more competitive. Global Awareness Exemplary education prepares students for the world in which they will live and work.
Global awareness is critical for every education system today.
Faculty should be encouraged to bring a focus on global awareness into classes and activities. Faculty development plans that focus on understanding other countries and cultures deserve high priority. Planning Good planning is instrumental to exemplary institutions so they can respond positively to changes. The improvement of quality as a major long-range goal requires that campus expenditure patterns reflect the role and mission approved by the Commission and the educational priorities established by the governing boards. All planning must ultimately provide the opportunity for high quality learning by every student.
