Global Connections is a program that encourages students and teachers to develop global consciousness and promotes international awareness and cooperation. Fifth and Sixth Grade Gifted and Talented students take ownership of their learning as they interact with students across the Atlantic. Students exchange traditions and cultural aspects of their everyday lives with one another. They compare and contrast unique life experiences typical of their global region. Students are exposed to English, Spanish, and Asturian dialect. Teachers collaborate on projects and lessons on an international scale. Students experience digital learning with cross-curricular focus by videoconferencing through Google Meet.
