Global education checklist

Teaching in the 21st Century
|
The "Global Education Checklist" above is my favorite assessment tool for any school district. It is incredibly comprehensive, and is divided into sections: teachers, administrators, communities and even state educational agencies. It provides clear and helpful ideas for schools looking to increase global competence.
I recommend this resource to my current school district. |
Additional Global Education Assessment ideas
Check in with this one-page, "Global Competence Matrix" (Link in the picture to the right) to see what globally competent skills/characteristics you already possess and where you can grow. From the website, "Educators who aspire to help students become globally competent must both develop these attributes in themselves and find ways to foster them in students."

SAMR Model
Because global learning is very much enhanced by using technology in the classroom, the SAMR model should be brought to our attention. Click either picture to visit the website. "Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition Model offers a method of seeing how computer technology might impact teaching and learning." With the plethora of technology resources available to teachers, how can we ensure we are choosing the most effective technology tools? Moving from simply substituting methods do redefining how we do daily business in (and out) of our classrooms, the SAMR model can help guide the way. |
Global Competence Grade level
"What is a globally competent kindergartener able to do? What about a second grader? How do these students progress in their attitudes, skills and knowledge throughout elementary school? This guide outlines the global competence learning targets for each grade level pair (K-1; 2-3; 4-5). The attitudes, skills and knowledge are indicated in this guide across learning spirals developed by VIF as part of its Global Gateway system: Understanding, Investigating, Connecting, and Integrating. For each grade-level pair of indicators, checklists are provided to support integration into everyday classroom practice."
