Does it take into account perspectives from beyond the United States? How?
Does it use primary sources from around the world, as appropriate?
Does it have real-world outcomes?“Simulations: Real-World Practice,” Asia Society: Education and Learning
http://asiasociety.org/education-learning/resources-schools/partnership-ideas/simulations-real-world-practice
A strong driving question in global learning should . . .
