- Summary:
-
The conference provided a forum where educators, education officers from the state of Delaware, citizen education groups, representatives of public service organizations, and members of the citizen education component of Research for Better Schools (RBS) could exchange ideas related to the conference theme, "Developing Competent Citizens in a Global Society." The conference was organized around four questions: 1) What values should shape our conceptions of responsible citizenship? 2) How can citizen education foster greater participation by citizens? 3) What strategies are most useful in encouraging civic participation? and 4) How do we educate citizens to live and participate in a global setting? Topics discussed in the five major speeches and small discussion groups included the relationship of citizenship education to traditional civics courses, current trends in citizenship education, school/community cooperation, strengths and weaknesses of citizenship education programs, citizenship competencies, and the growing globalizations for emphasizing a global dimension to citizenship education included relating local community events to the global scene, emphasizing similarities in human experiences, and encouraging teachers to increase their commitment to global education.
