What skills do young people need to be successful in the 21st Century? This section is for educators who want to globalize their classrooms. I designed this guide for teachers at Innovation Academy Charter School, but many of these resources will be useful to other educators. Do you want to globalize your classroom? Anyone can do it. Start by watching this short video:
Define global education and learn about why it’s so important to shift your teaching.
Your curriculum probably already teaches some global competencies, but here are some tips and models to show you how to go further with both your global content and global skill building.
Use technology to connect with classrooms around the world and learn about pressing issues of the times.
If possible, find ways to travel and bring your own experiences into the classroom. There are also creative ways to get students out of the classroom, both locally and internationally.
You are not in this alone! You can access an amazing international community of educators who are working on the same things as you.
This looks great! Congratulations on getting such a cool ‘draft’ version!
You have done a lot of work, Sara, and this looks like an excellent resource for your community.
Sara, your website is VERY cool! Informative, colorful, interactive, honest! I am impressed.
