标题: Preparing Teacher Candidates for the Global Workplace
摘要: 
21st century teacher candidate are no longer competing for career opportunities locally but in the global workforce. This implies the need to prepare graduates who possess the right skills and adequate knowledge required in the global workforce. Additionally, having cross-cultural communication skills has become essential for all workers and professions in the global workforce. The teaching of these essential global workforce skills must be integrated in the curriculum. As public education continues to evolve into transformative digital content and more learner-centered pedagogies, educators need to focus not only on best practices and innovative pedagogies to engage digital learners but also the acquisition of 21st century competencies and skills that positively affect and improve student learning. To this end, this presentation examines teacher education preparation from multiple facets including diversity in schools, competency skills, digital technologies, and the need to prepare teacher candidates who are able to transfer the right set of skills, knowledge and attitudes to their learners to acquire competencies for becoming successful global citizens.
