Dear Community Members,
Let’s GLOW! Can you believe it? Nine weeks and counting until the Global Learning for an Open World Conference! Share projects, programs, and ideas for helping students and teachers achieve global competency. Our conference theme is Connections, Competencies, and Creativity, so keep that in mind as you design your session. We’re thrilled with the sessions that have been submitted so far and can’t wait to see YOUR idea! Register today for this global professional development extravaganza!
Speaking of creativity, today is International Dot Day (September 15th), celebrating creativity, courage, and collaboration. Author and illustrator Peter Reynolds’ book The Dot is the inspiration for this annual global celebration, and Peter will be conducting a special event live from a New York museum tomorrow. Register here and bring your class virtually!
If you have events and resources related to global education and innovation, please post details in our online community, and we’ll include this information in our following newsletter. We publish our newsletter on the first and fifteenth of each month.
Thanks for reading,
Lucy Gray
Co-Founder
