Building Capacity for Global Education in a School Library Media Education Program through International Exchange

Cynthia Houston

Library Media Education Program, Western Kentucky University, Cynthia.houston{at}wku.edu

It is important for educators of school library media specialists in the United States to begin incorporating a global approach to education. Research on short-term international exchange programs indicates they contribute to the cognitive and personal growth prerequisite for developing a global perspective in both students and faculty. In efforts to develop a global perspective among students and faculty in the Western Kentucky University Library Media Education Program, two members of the faculty initiated an international exchange program with the Colegio San Estanislao de Kostka (SEK) Catalunya, a private P-12 school near Barcelona, Spain.

Key Words: school library media education • international exchange-programs
