Short bio or reason for joining Actionable Innovations Global:

For the past 6 years I have been leading a team educators as we continue to develop and refine the FCPS Global Classroom Project. Fairfax County Public Schools  in Virginia is one of the largest school divisions in the United States and is located just outside of Washington DC.  We have approximately 187,000 students representing countries from around the world.  


Global education projects or initiatives in which you are involved (if applicable):

The Global Classroom Project in Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia (USA) was created as a way to provide opportunities for students to collaborate with peers from around the world on authentic tasks and challenges through a variety of learning experiences. Students will also develop the knowledge, skills and behaviors to be able to engage in collective action towards issues on the local, national, and global level.
