This qualitative case study examines a systematic approach to internationalization for a middle-sized, comprehensive private university in the United States of America. The focus is a descriptive study of the unique momentum at the beginning of organizational transformation---the comprehensive internationalization of a university as a system. The study explores organizational strategies, compares four colleges within the university on the undergraduate level, examines goals and specific strategies, and identifies effective delivery methods for global citizenship education. The literature review reflects the conceptual framework of the internationalization of American higher education with specific elements that affect both the process and its components. The conceptual framework includes internationalization through global learning outcomes, global citizenship education competencies, components of comprehensive internationalization, and essential steps for a systematic approach to organizational transformation. Data for the case study were collected from 30 interviews with university administrators, college administrators, faculty, American students, international students, and community representatives from four colleges, using formal, open-ended interview protocols. Purposeful sampling was used so participants could provide informed answers about the internationalization. Archival documents were reviewed and compared with findings from the interviews. The data received from each college were analyzed and each college was placed on a stage of the continuum of organizational internationalization. Data analysis was grounded in the original research questions that addressed the process of internationalization as transformational change. The concept mapping approach was used in order to analyze and clarify findings. The following fundamental steps that are essential for the continuing process of internationalization were identified: leadership and administration involvement and support, resource allocation, internationalization of curriculum through global learning outcomes assessment, internationalization of faculty, creation of structures to ensure synergy among all international activities at Park University as a system, and a holistic approach to internationalization. Recommendations for modifications of internationalization of the curriculum and faculty were presented. The qualitative study was limited to interpretations dependent upon its context and time. The sampling was aimed at insight about the internationalization, not empirical generalization from a sample to a population. The recommendations could be generalized to the people who participated in the case study.

This book examines the integration of the international, global, and intercultural dimensions in contemporary education systems. Yemini provides a comprehensive understanding of the process of internationalization from different angles including policy-making, curriculum implementation, media discourse, and individual agency. The book illuminates and analyzes a set of key tensions of internationalization across multiple levels of schooling and across the domains of popular discourse, policy, curriculum, pedagogy, and students’ identity, by connecting or re-connecting the process of internationalization and its outcomes at individual level of global citizenship. The author uses solid empirical embedding of each of those aspects together with development of novel theoretical insights in each of the investigated domains.

How do we help students work effectively with others from diverse cultural backgrounds? How do we help them understand the world? How do we prepare them for work and life in an era of globalization, volatility, and uncertainty? Empowering Global Citizens offers educators and parents compelling answers to those questions. This book presents The World Course, a curriculum on global citizenship education designed to equip students with the competencies they need to thrive and contribute to sustainable development in an era of globalization. Drawing on curriculum mapping this book offers a coherent and rigorous set of instructional units to support deep learning of twenty-first-century competencies that develop agency, imagination, confidence, and the skills to navigate the complexity of our times. Drawing on a rich conceptual framework of global education, The World Course scaffolds the development of global competency drawing on project-based learning and other pedagogies that support personalization. The course expands children's horizons, helping them understand the world in which they live in all its complexity from kindergarten to high school. This is done through learning activities at the zone for proximal development for each age group, with activities that foster student agency and a growth mindset.

Early college classrooms provide essential opportunities for students to grapple and contend with the racial geographies that shape their lives. Based on a mixed methods study of students’ writing in a first-year-writing course themed around racial identities and language varieties at St. John’s University, Mapping Racial Literacies shows college student writing that directly confronts lived experiences of segregation—and, overwhelmingly, of resegregation. This textual ethnography embeds early college students’ writing in deep historical and theoretical contexts and looks for new ways that their writing contributes to and reshapes contemporary understandings of how US and global citizens are thinking about race. The book is a teaching narrative, tracing a teaching journey that considers student writing not only in the moments it is assigned but also in continual revisions of the course, making it a useful tool in helping college-age students see, explore, and articulate the role of race in determining their life experiences and opportunities. Sophie Bell’s work narrates the experiences of a white teacher making mistakes in teaching about race and moving forward through those mistakes, considering that process valuable and, in fact, necessary. Providing a model for future scholars on how to carve out a pedagogically responsive identity as a teacher, Mapping Racial Literacies contributes to the scholarship on race and writing pedagogy and encourages teachers of early college classes to bring these issues front and center on the page, in the classroom, and on campus.

A Triple Helix of university-industry-government interactions is the key to innovation in increasingly knowledge-based societies. As the creation, dissemination, and utilization of knowledge moves from the periphery to the center of industrial production and governance, the concept of innovation, in product and process, is itself being transformed. In its place is a new sense of 'innovation in innovation' - the restructuring and enhancement of the organizational arrangements and incentives that foster innovation. This triple helix intersection of relatively independent institutional spheres generates hybrid organizations such as technology transfer offices in universities, firms, and government research labs and business and financial support institutions such as angel networks and venture capital for new technology-based firms that are increasingly developing around the world. The Triple Helix describes this new innovation model and assists students, researchers, and policymakers in addressing such questions as: How do we enhance the role of universities in regional economic and social development? How can governments, at all levels, encourage citizens to take an active role in promoting innovation in innovation and, conversely, how can citizens so encourage their governments? How can firms collaborate with each other and with universities and government to become more innovative? What are the key elements and challenges to reaching these goals?
