Abstract

At a time of escalating global unrest and insecurity, together with increasing global interdependence, interest in Global citizenship education (GCED) as a transformative pedagogy for peace, human rights, and sustainable development, has never been greater. Educators, school leaders and policy makers can play an important role in supporting young people to gain the knowledge and skills needed to engage with the global issues of our time, which are frequently described as volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (Berinato, 2014). The APCEIU-ACER GCED Monitoring Toolkit was developed to assist education stakeholders to embed GCED within policy and practice in alignment with local, regional, and international frameworks. Target users of this toolkit include policy makers, education department and ministry personnel, leaders, and educators at all levels in both formal and non-formal education sectors. The Toolkit provides an actionable four-phase process for embedding, assessing, and continuously enhancing GCED. The chapters integrate key concepts from research, global policy documents and empirical research conducted by ACER and ACPEIU, to establish a comprehensive and holistic approach to GCED. The toolkit explores effective GCED including how to conceptualise and define, plan, enact and monitor implementation, and how to measure success.
