Reflect, Connect, and Act Together

 Welcome to Our Global Classroom!

This website serves to showcase our global classroom adventures which are critical in our rural setting. Our classroom community encourages personal and collective reflection focused on building relationships that consider all perspectives in order to create a "glocal" sensibility in which all people can learn, grow, share and thrive in a mutually respectful, creative and responsible way.

We're so glad you are here to join the adventure.

Mt. Philo is Vermont's First State Park established on 237 acres in 1924. It stands at 937 ft tall and is a favorite vantage point to see the green checkerboard of farm fields, steely waters of Lake Champlain and the regal Adirondack Mountains of New York to the west.

Our website is organized as follows:

Study: This section provides resources for teachers to consider when embarking upon the journey to globalize their practice and to help inspire others to join them.

Teach: This section offers innumerable ways to introduce global topics, integrate curriculum with a world view, and assess learning along the way. 

Travel: This section highlights the adventures of Mrs. Lake and Snowy Chicken all around the world. Includes links to social media platforms for "real time" connection during travel.
