Global Education is a vision to prepare our students and society to live in peace through the development of competencies that strengthen our understanding of one another on a global scale. Our global society is ever changing and we are connected on a global scale now more than ever. Technology, rapid communication, cultural and population shifts and environmental issues have brought the world closer together. We all live on the same planet. Educational practices need to shift to enable our students to participate effectively in the new 21century global environment. A pivot to a Global Education mindset is all that is needed to enrich,engage and evolve curriculum planning and lessons towards our global future. Global competencies can and should be layered into the existing course curriculums and dialogues. As teachers we are preparing our students to learn and live in the world … a peaceful world. We need to teach our students the skills necessary to work together in peaceful ways to solve problems on local and global scales to survive in a civilized way on our planet Earth.

This Global Educational Guide is the capstone project for my Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms Fellowship 2019-2020 funded by the United States Department of State and coordinated by IREX. In the Fall of 2019 , I completed an intense 10 week online course in global studies which opened my eyes to the importance of educating our students to become global citizens. In January of 2020 I attended a Global Studies Symposium in Washington D.C. where I presented our schools Diversity Portrait Project and interacted with many outstanding speakers, teachers and administrators selected to participate. The final component of the FTGC fellowship will be an expedition overseas (India) to learn about their educational systems, cultural treasures and work with students and fellow teachers there. Please contact me if you would like further information or have questions. I welcome your inquiries.
