Global Education
Curious about Global Education?
I was an NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellow, and that experience changed my entire outlook on teaching and learning in the World Language classroom! From that point on, I have centered Global Education in my classroom, guided by the world of the Asia Society, World Savvy, and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I speak at conferences around the country to support other World Language teachers in venturing into this exciting branch of education with me!
Book
Global education isn’t learning about the world; it’s learning with and from the world. This branch of future-focused education centers the creation of global competency, the fostering of empathy, and the use of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Designed to improve student motivation and engagement, readers will come away with plenty of inspiring and effective ways to not only invite the world, including low-cost, ready-to-implement tools, activities, and lesson ideas.
With this book, your students will become culturally literate, motivated language learners who will be ready to enter the global community and continue to learn from and with the world.
