On International Mindedness in Education with Cindy Bin Tahal

Cindy Bin Tahal, International School Leader, in action.

Today I spoke with Cindy Bin Tahal on the concept of "international mindedness". Cindy is an international school leader and has worked as a principal and taught in various locations in Australia (including the Torres Strait), North America and Asia.

In the podcast, Cindy mentions the following policies, initiatives, and works that may be of interest:

• No Child Left Behind (US)
• Every Child Matters (UK)
• Carol June Maker
• AusIdentities
• Edward de Bono Six Thinking Hats 
• Gardner's Multiple Intelligence
• Productive Pedagogies
• Authentic Achievement (Newmann and Associates)
• 16 Personalities (MBTI)

I was interested in her approach as I am currently working with colleagues on similar approaches to addressing international mindedness in our curricula.
