This document summarizes a presentation on global and comparative education given by Dr. Ryan Guffey of Lindenwood University. It defines global education as developing understanding of human society and the environment, as well as critical thinking and cooperation skills. Comparative education involves studying different education systems between world regions, countries, states/provinces, districts, schools, classrooms, and individuals. The presentation also discusses creating global citizens, teaching techniques, Azerbaijan's historical education system under Russian and Soviet rule, and how Lindenwood incorporates international education through its diverse student body and study abroad programs.
