Education is a core element of implementing Sustainable Development, aka Technocracy. It requires a system of human conditioning on a global scale. Technocrats do not value individual talent and abilities, but only the ability to fit into the larger global good. Alex Newman
Inspired by the introduction of the new Iowa Core Curriculum and its focus on global literacy concepts and 21st century skills, the institute has turned its attention to global education, with a goal of preparing teachers from across the state to infuse global perspectives into their classrooms.
The institute is a professional development opportunity. The director of the Global Education Institute for Teachers is Dr. Greg Hamot, a professor in the UI College of Education and the associate director of the UI Center for Human Rights.
Hamot is professor of social studies education. He holds a bachelor's degree from Northwestern University and a master's degree and PhD from The Ohio State University in social studies and global education. His research interests lie in the study of democracy as a cross-cultural concept and preservice field experiences in social studies education. He also serves the UI College of Education as Coordinator for International Studies and Programs, as well as university Associate Director of the UI Center for Human Rights.
Social studies is the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence. Within the school program, social studies provides coordinated, systematic study drawing upon such disciplines as anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, and sociology, as well as appropriate content from the humanities, mathematics, and natural sciences. The primary purpose of social studies is to help young people develop the ability to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world.
When many of us went to school social studies covered geography, sociology and a few other topics but not history. History, true history has been minimized so as our children will know that what they are being taught is untrue.
