    Student-Centered Teaching Practices We choose to teach college students because we are committed to the proposition that education can indeed be liberating. How we teach the students who enter our classrooms can make the difference between students who realize their potential and those who leave us discouraged about their possibilities. These resources, organized by topic, offer frameworks and strategies faculty can use to make their classrooms vibrant learning spaces for every student who walks through the door.

We will evaluate and change our academic programs and learning opportunities foster local and global citizenship and to meet clearly identified student and community needs. Oakton offers a comprehensive Global Studies (GS) Program, including an academic concentration in GS, on-campus GS special programming, various study abroad opportunities, two-year course of study in 11 modern languages, and a commitment to on-going international professional development for faculty, administrators and staff. The GS academic concentration allows for broad-based, interdisciplinary teaching and infusion of content across the spectrum of general education courses, thereby reaching students outside the GS concentration. GS students also may tailor their own program to focus on a particular area of the world or a particular issue, such as sustainable development.
