The purpose of this handbook is to help educators conceptualize and teach about world history in a more holistic way using a systems approach, a global perspective, and a close examination of historical patterns. Laying out the principles of the holistic world history model for educators to use directly in the classroom, Waves of Global Change: An Educator’s Handbook explores how all the facets of world history can be successfully pulled together into a thought-provoking and challenging course.
This book is for educators and education students. Each chapter includes "Questions to Consider," spurring critical thinking and encouraging readers to "see" the information from perspectives beyond their own. Pictures, activities, suggestions, images, diagrams, graphs, and free on-line resources all heighten understanding.
