Characteristics of a Global Classroom	How can you make your classroom a global community?
Global perspective is integrated throughout the school curriculum not just in social studies.	To have a Global classroom I will integrate it in all subjects.
International focus courses are developed in areas such as anthropology, regional history, geography, global or world studies, foreign language study, world religions, ethnic group studies, international business, music, and art.	I will provide activities that help to the pupils to be a global learning. I will provide materials that they can learn other language, the culture of other, to appreciate arts and music.
Internationalizing instructional methods and materials emphasize intercultural interaction and culturally appropriate methods of instruction and assessment. Partnership programs with other schools and countries can also be developed.	I will provide activities that help to pupils to develop their social aspect, also material that they can learn the culture of others. I will conduct seminars that develop about partnership in other countries.
Encouraging international travel as an important part of one’s education	I will conduct a fieldtrip so that they can see what have the other place. They can also go to historical place.
