Global Education Guide
Welcome to my Global Education Guide!
After a year-long professional development with the Teachers for Global Classrooms Fellowship, I would like to share some of the resources and information that I learned. This will be a guide for teachers, staff, students and parents that would like to explore Global Education.
In this site you will find three main links that will help you begin your journey with Global Education.
Study: This will be your start point in your journey with Global Education. I recommend that you start with the Global Education Assessment Tools because it will give you insight on how your students are doing with global education. Then you can try some of the digital tools in you lessons.
Teach: Here you will find amazing local and international resources that will help you bring global themes to your classroom.
Travel: As part of the amazing TGC program, I had the opportunity to travel to Colombia and in this section you will find my travel blog and also the reflection on a research question about teacher's preparation in Colombia (Escuelas Normales).

What is Global Education?
Global education is a creative approach that teaches students four global competences:
- Investigate the World
- Recognize perspectives
- Communicate ideas
- Translate those ideas into Action to change or improve the conditions of the community (local or global).
