As a public school educational leader, having served in urban, rural, and suburban contexts for nearly twenty years, preparing students for 21st-century life and work required much more of our students in terms of a broadened awareness of global interconnectivity, linguistic and cultural fluency, and empathetic and complex solution-finding. Increasingly it became evident how the worlds of education and educational leadership merged with global citizenship. With technological improvements, the world is opening up for all students, especially low-income students to sit at the table of cosmopolitan global inclusion to also see themselves as important and critical members in the global economy as they prepare for life after K-12 education.
