Greetings, GEC members!
I'm pleased to report that we now have over 2100 members in the Global Education Collaborative. Even more opportunities exist to connect with other educators around the world!
New members in the last month hail from South Africa, Qatar, Canada, Australia, the Phillipines, China, the Czech Republic, Brazil, Denmark, Mexico, Colombia, the U.K, Uganda, Ghana, Pakistan and El Salvador. As the US school year resumes, we also have a slew of new members from the U.S including Puerto Rico. I'm thrilled with our growth; please keep inviting your friends and colleagues to our community.
Important Announcements:
