Global Concepts

Learn how to teach global concepts and use them to increase critical thinking across the curriculum. In this new book from popular consultant Becky Hunt, you’ll get ready-to-use lesson plans, stories, and activities to help you teach five key global concepts—Change, Interdependence, Culture, Scarcity, and Power.

Aligned with both the C3 Social Studies Framework and the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts, these engaging lesson plans encourage critical thinking skills that will lead to increased creativity in problem solving.

This book is an essential resource for teachers looking to:

Create a framework to teach young people global concepts that will help them analyze and understand the world.
Present stories and lessons connected to real-world issues that inspire students to develop innovative solutions.
Engage students in lessons that will help them to understand and celebrate people from different cultures at home and around the world.
Shape students into global citizens with an understanding of the world and a desire to bring about change.

“Becky Hunt is the perfect author/teacher for Global Concepts for Young People. Over the past fifteen plus years that I have known her, she has lived and experienced working with young people on global concepts and in international settings. In writing her book, she relies on the greatest of all teachers-experience. Starting as principal of Lincoln International Studies School, Kalamazoo, MI and moving to the diversity of a private school completely different from Lincoln, then traveling and leading at international schools in Abu Dhabi and Malaysia surely makes her an expert in her field. She continues her work as an author of children’s books and truly understands child development, literacy, staff development and curriculum. This is a wonderful curriculum guide for leaders and teachers in education interested in a relevant and critical subject for our next generation of global citizens. In my opinion, this type of curriculum should be mandatory if we are to prepare our youngsters for their world.”
