Think Global
How to Bring the World to Your Students
This Global Education Guide (GEG) is created with you in mind.
Who me?
Yes, you the educator, you the student, you the curious!
The mission is to "think globally, act locally."
This GEG is intended as a reference for teachers who share a passion for bringing the world into our classrooms and fostering global competencies among our students. As you navigate the site, you will find various resources, curriculum information, global assessment tools, and a travel blog!
Rationale
At no other time have we humans been more connected and interdependent. We are living in a technological age with national economies that have no borders and pandemics have become the norm. All of this is on an unprecedented global scale.
An expanding global perspective will not only enable our students to investigate issues all over the world but also to develop their own worldviews.

Food for Thought
Before you start navigating the site, please read this great article! It is written by Fernando Reimers. Global Education is more than an afterthought of World History or Sociology class. This is about helping students see and understand their role in a global society.
