All levels From cultural-awareness to future-readiness more

Future-ready means life-ready. As well as skills in science and technology, our students need non-technical skills such as social emotional learning (SEL), critical thinking and cultural awareness. To be truly future-ready learners will need to display knowledge and sensitivity to other people, places, and cultures. Reading is essential to both language learning and understanding other cultures. 'China Showcase Library' (CSL) from National Geographic Learning is a graded reader series that showcases authentic content and high-interest topics that stimulate higher order thinking skills. In this session we will discover how CSL incorporates critical thinking, SEL, and cultural awareness to inform, engage and prepare students for the future.
