School or Organization Name: iE-USA
Area of the World from Which You Will Present: TX, USA
Language in Which You Will Present: English
Target Audience(s): High School Administrators
Short Session Description (one line): Understand how administrators with foreign travel/work experience have a tendency to promote global competency and global education values to their student body more fully.
Full Session Description (as long as you would like): In this session, I will explain my research done through surveys with Principals at High Schools around the U.S. The results suggest a connection between travel experience and the promotion of global education. Through their important role as Principal, they often are the role models to look towards when schools try to foster global competence. Therefore, this presentation will also include a discussion of the relevancy of the Principal's role in International Education reform, and its successful implementation. Examples from ISSS schools are given, as well as survey data done in my Capstone at Drexel University.
