Okay,
The "global perspective" aspect of the Teaching in a Global Community course is all about getting new VT teachers or teachers-to-be out of the insular mindset that is public school in a tiny, nearly all white state, and opening up horizons to include other approaches to working with children (RE) and other cultures (Italy) and how history of a region can shape teaching philosophy (RE developed in Italy after WWII) and combine that all back into the little VT classroom.  How can VT teachers use other models of education to enhance the structure already present in the VT public classroom?  It is really all about getting involved in policy making, and understanding their role as a community leader in public education reform, getting involved with local politicians to be an advocate for children in the community.
I sense that the Essential Objectives for the Teaching in the Global Community course are giving you fits.  I can tell you that my own classes have developed over time to be in line with the objectives, and this course will too.
