Abstract

The impact of globalization is only going to deepen and the consequences will be more broadly felt. For our children to live successfully and peacefully in this globalized world, we need to help them develop the appropriate skills, knowledge, attitudes, and perspectives. This requires a new generation of teachers who are able to act as global citizens, understand the global system, and deliver a globally oriented education. To prepare this new generation of teachers, we need a teacher education system that is globally oriented. In the age of globalization, educational institutions will continue to be operated as local entities; however, they will need to consider themselves as global enterprises because their products (students) will need to function well in the globalized world in terms of competition for opportunities and collaboration with individuals from different cultures. Thus, educational institutions need to adopt a global perspective in deciding what they should offer their students and how they can take advantage of global resources to provide high-quality education. This does not mean that they should abandon their traditions. Quite the contrary, globalization demands schools to be different and unique so they can prepare students who will be able to discover and create their own niche.
