Over the summer, through a Global Literacy workshop, the teachers learned to look at the world through a new lens. . . .<\/p>\n

Students should be taught to question and understand divergent views, which is why the Greece school district offers Minerva’s Global Literacy training, said Jennifer Gkourlias, the district’s director of Social Studies & World Languages. . . .<\/p>\n

The workshop used a version of the Gita, the religious text of the Hindu faith, which recounts the journey of Krishna and his cousin Arjuna to find peace amid the chaos affecting them and their families. By teaching Arjuna to rid himself of the desires of the heart while simultaneously engaging in action, Krishna, considered the Supreme Being, helps his cousin understand the complexities of human thought. . . .<\/p>\n

Fairport teachers also examined Western classical and Indian classical music, and did yoga exercises.<\/p>\n

Posing as trees, the teachers stood on one leg and bent their second leg until the sole of the foot touched the knee of the straight leg. Once balanced, the teachers formed their arms into a diamond above their heads.<\/p>\n
