Full Session Description: With increased scale and effective practices through collaboration and connectivity, together we can ensure greater equitable access to global competency education. Join this lively conversation to share your expertise, while also, considering new ways to strength the adaptive capacity of entire school systems to integrate global education across disciplines. Let’s help each other—and those who will soon join this important reform movement—build pathways for collective success in better preparing youth, everywhere, for a just and sustainable future.
Since its founding, World Savvy has worked deeply and actively with thousands of U.S. teachers to help them transform their approach to teaching and prepare their students for an increasingly complex global society. In September, World Savvy along with Teachers College, Columbia University and Asia Society launched the Global Competence Certificate (GCC), the first online, graduate-level certificate program related to global competence.
