Abstract	The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) launched the "Maryland and Your World" project in 1983. The purpose of this project is to assist local school systems in implementing guidelines established by MSDE's curricular framework for the social studies. Goal four of this framework focuses on the ideas, institutions, and processes that operate in a global setting. Traditionally, social studies programs include international education with the study of world history, world culture, and world geography courses. It is the intent of this project to demonstrate ways that states and local communities can be studied within an international context. The five learning units designed for grades 4-8 each include: (1) content description; (2) student behavioral objectives; (3) vocabulary list of important terms; (4) suggested activities list; (5) student resource list; (6) reference materials; (7) teaching procedures; and (8) student resource sheets. Unit 1 focuses on Maryland as a world community, and students examine local community linkages to the world and increase their awareness of these connections as a component of global interdependence. In unit 2, students explore events from three centuries of Maryland ports and ships and analyze them to understand the continuing international ties with their state. After studying the immigrant experience and its impact on Maryland in unit 3, unit 4 traces Maryland's West Africa connection to develop in students an understanding of the international impact of the emigration of free blacks from Maryland to the Republic of Liberia in the 19th century. Unit 5 examines Maryland's role as both a home and host to multinational corporations, identifies the issues that confront these corporations, and develops an awareness of the extent to which multinationals influence the local community.
