We will put a copy of the entire unit in the next business day's mail. About the Choices for the 21st Century Education Project The Choices for the 21st Century Education Project develops curricular resources on current and historical international issues and offers workshops, institutes, and in-service programs for high school teachers. Course materials place special emphasis on the importance of educating students in their participatory role as citizens. Choices curriculum resources are designed to make complex international issues understandable and meaningful for students. Each Choices unit provides students with a thorough introduction to the topic under consideration.
Students gain an understanding of the historical background and the status of current issues.
In this way, they see how history has shaped our world. At the center of each Choices unit is a framework of alternative policy options that challenge students to consider multiple perspectives and to think critically about the issue at hand. Finally, students are challenged to articulate original, coherent policy options that reflect their own values, priorities, and goals as individuals and citizens.
