Reimers article

The primary emphasis of global education in the US seems to have been for an economic advantage or getting a leg up to compete in a global market.  I appreciated the author's explicit explanation of broader responsibilities as global citizens, for example, in terms of the environment by sharing and protecting resources, ethical work habits v. profit/ free trade, service learning...

I am wondering how these issues will be handled on an elementary school level.  Would be valuable to see what we are already doing.  I can think of some examples across the B-6 and would like to learn more.
