Together they explore how the Ross Model of education, which cultivates in students a Global perspective, aligns with broader trends in the arts, humanities, and sciences in the new millennium.
In this volume, world-renowned scholars from a variety of disciplines, as well as veteran teachers, administrators, and students, come together to examine some of the best practices in K-12 Education in the context of an increasingly interconnected world.
