"Teaching and assessing student

work that addresses issues of

global significance around the
world or in students own
backyards are essential to a
world-class education system.
The global marketplace is real,
and todays schools must prepare
students to participate, interact,
and thrive in it. The more our
students know about recognizing
the challenges and opportunities
of an interconnected world, the
better they will be able to work
in it and improve it. Our students
well-being, the vitality of our
communities, and the welfare of
our nation depend on it."
EdSteps in collaboration with the
Asia Society

in order to teach
global competence and
connect your students
globally YOU HAVE to be
a globally connected
educator!

Teachers Have Traditionally been
isolated in the Classroom. Most
professional Connections have been in
form of colleagues in their building,
infrequent Professional Development
opportunities, conferences or University
courses.

The concept of a PLN has been
around for many years. What has
changed in recent years though
is the reach, the size and the
availability of that network.

No need to be afraid. Don't think that no one would be interested
in what you have to share. Don't be worried that you are not
familiar with the tools... you wil get used to them...
