Think about the following questions: What competencies will today's students need in tomorrow's globalized world? What is my class doing at this moment to prepare students for a globalized reality? How prepared am I to teach in a globalized world? These questions are hard but not impossible to answer. If you are like most teachers, your practice likely exists on a continuum of globalized learning and teaching. There is not official "globalized teachers." Rather, one of the hallmarks of teaching with a global view in mind, is that we are always learning and moving to a more holistic sense of what it means to teach in an increasingly globalized community. To start, check out the following sources. In your notes or thoughts, try and define the term "global competency" and create a running list of reasons why it is important to foster in a classroom:

• Global Citizenship Education

• Teaching for Global Competence (pp.12-16)

• SAAVY Global Competencies

One the more difficult aspects of teaching globally is the disposition shift that many teachers will undergo as they expose themselves and their students to the ever-widening lens of globally learning. While this may be frustrating at first, what is critical is that teachers and students must recognize that they are already global learners! The question most teachers ask is, how to I become a global teacher? However, the first question really needs to be, what am I already doing the is fostering global learning? As you read through the following sources, identify 2-3 areas in your teaching where you are presently including elements of a global teaching. Then, as you dig further, identify 2-3 ways you could begin to extend your teaching by incorporating elements of global teaching that you have not yet encountered:

• Framework for Global Competency

• 10 Characteristics of a Globally Competent Teacher

• Teaching for Global Competence (p. 23 - 24).

• National Geographic Teaching Across Perspectives

• United Nations Sustainability Goals

• Place Based Education
