Becoming a global educator does not happen overnight. It can be a challenging process that requires building knowledge and developing skills. Although teachers may understand the value of a global education they might not know how or where to start on this journey.
Global Gateway is a professional development program which allows teachers to develop a critical, cultural framework for engaging students through an inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning. With Global Gateway, teachers learn to integrate global content to enrich standard classroom instruction, providing students with a comprehensive knowledge of the world and engaging them to achieve a deeper understanding.
In this session you will hear from an experienced Global Gateway educator as she shares strategies for incorporating global content and themes into the elementary classroom. Walk away with practical ideas for global lessons and engaging activities for students. Participants will learn how to gain access to a free online global educator community for collaboration and inspiration.
