Building global competence is an ongoing process for both students and educators alike. This page offers resources to help educators assess student growth in investigation, perspective-taking, communication, and action, as well as resources for educators to self-assess and reflect on their own practices and school-wide global education readiness.

Assessing Student Work
This global leadership assessment tool has been developed with age-appropriate language and learning outcomes for students from the primary grades through high school. I particularly appreciate the student-facing "I Can..." statements, which speak to student strengths, and the clear structuring of rubrics for each global competence.
I have found these useful in developing plans for lessons, projects, and rubrics for students to self-assess their growth.
The AAC&U Intercultural Knowledge and Competence Value Rubric was developed by teams of faculty representing colleges and universities across the United States.
It identifies learning outcomes and criteria for: cultural awareness, verbal and nonverbal communication strategies, empathy, and attitudes of curiosity and openness.
I prefer the Asia Society's Global Leadership Outcomes and Rubrics for clarity of language and tailoring to different grade levels. If you teach undergraduates, however, this might be a good fit for your classroom. For K-12 teachers, language could be borrowed and modified to be more appropriate for your context.

Although this checklist was published in 2002–03, it still offers relevant and practical questions to guide educator reflections and classroom design pertaining to global education.
This assessment tool can also support schools in evaluating equity and inclusion in their community.
global_education_checklist.pdfThis checklist comes from Veronica Boix-Mansilla and Anthony Jackson's Educating for Global Competence: Preparing Our Students to Engage the World (2011).
In addition to the one-page checklist that can be used to assess your lesson plans, the authors also offer activity ideas for each of the four global competence domains.
Checklist for Teaching for Global Competence.pdfThis PDF from Primary Source provides an overview of the "four domains of action" educators and schools must attend to in order to foster global learning. It also provides evidence of "exemplary practice" for each of the four domains.
PS_Elements_of_a_Global_School.pdfThis resource begins with a clear overview of global education before outlining seven key tenets of globally competent school leadership. Through case studies and actionable guidance, it highlights steps school leaders can take to strengthen or launch global initiatives. The framework includes suggested activities at three levels—“First Steps,” “Deeper Dives,” and “Full Immersion”—making it adaptable for teachers and schools at any stage.
