The public has spoken.
Globalization needs to be part of a modern high school education.
Three-fourths of the states now have world history standards and the demand for world history instruction continues to expand. The College Board is expecting between 30,000 and 50,000 students to take the new Advanced Placement Test within three to five years. Yet few teachers of world history have taken a world history course. Neither survey courses in western civilization nor regional studies courses are adequate to develop an understanding of global processes. Compounding the problem, the average age of teachers in this country is over fifty.
