Connecting educators across the world and fostering global competence in all students
Today's students require the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to participate as citizens in a global society. In addition to being actively engaged in learning, students need to understand their connection to their communities and the world at large. Develop the intercultural competence to expand your curriculum beyond a textbook and learn about promising practices and topics of concern to educators worldwide.
Removing barriers to enable learning and expand opportunities.
Each and every student needs and deserves a safe, challenging, and supportive learning environment-especially students who have special needs and cultural or language differences. Understanding the full impact of inequities is the first step to creating healthy environments, supportive schools, and targeted instruction that helps all of your students engage in meaningful opportunities to expand their learning and heighten their achievement.
Moving from a narrow definition of student success that traditionally relies on achievement test scores and grades
You want to help your students succeed in school and in life. By expanding the notion of student success, and moving it beyond a metric governed by test scores, authentic assessment puts the emphasis on student understanding. By providing school cultures that emphasize life skills and attending to their social-emotional development, you can support students as they learn to take appropriate ownership of their learning
Using innovative teaching to spark meaningful and engaged student learning

Enhance your skills through differentiated instruction, the FIT Teaching® approach, the Understanding by Design®framework, and more.
