4. INTRODUCTION

5. GLOBALIZATION
5
The speedup of movements and exchanges (of human beings,
goods, and services, capital, technologies or cultural practices)
all over the planet. One of the effects of globalization is that it
promotes and increases interactions between different regions
and populations around the globe.

6. GLOBALIZATION
6
According to WHO, globalization can be defined as ” the increased
interconnectedness and interdependence of peoples and countries.
It is generally understood to include two inter-related elements:
the opening of international borders to increasingly fast flows of
goods, services, finance, people and ideas; and the changes in
institutions and policies at national and international levels that
facilitate or promote such flows.”
MED4

7. WHAT IS GLOBALIZATION INTHE ECONOMY?
7
According to the Committee for Development Policy (a subsidiary body of
the United Nations), from an economic point of view:
 the increasing interdependence of world economies as a result of the
growing scale of cross-border trade of commodities and services,
the flow of international capital and the wide and rapid spread of
technologies. It reflects the continuing expansion and mutual integration
of market frontiers
 (…) and the rapid growing significance of information in all types of
productive activities and marketization are the two major driving forces
for economic globalization

8. WHAT IS GLOBALIZATION INTHE

the set of processes (economic, social, cultural,

relationship between societies and individuals around
the world. It is a progressive process by which

The ability to

individual’s
knowledge of
language, practical
IT skills, and
attitudes towards

ECD 2005, p. 4).

13. GLOBALLY COMPETENT EDUCATION LEADERS
Promoting thoughtful
engagement among students
and equipping them with skills,
habits of mind, and
competencies that will enable
them to flourish in their lives—
and be happy in their lives—is
among the most important
things we can do as educators. It
might be job number one.
— Rick Swanson, Principal,
Hingham High School, MA
Global education is not just good
teaching. Global education answers
the “So what?” Why does what
I’m learning apply to me, every day, in
the world? We are charged with
helping students see the “so what” of
education. What’s a better way to do
that than global education? High
schoolers know that they
are pursuing jobs and careers where
they are expected to interact and
work with other cultures. Why not
start them here? Why not get them
comfortable in the world?

14. WHY A GLOBAL FOCUS IN
EDUCATION?
students will need to develop
empathy an appreciation of
diverse perspectives and cultures
knowledge of conditions, cultures,
and events in their own
communities and around the
world and an ability to
communicate, collaborate, and
problem solve with people from
diverse backgrounds and in
various settings.
14
MED4
Embedding these mindsets, knowledge, and skills, or global competence, into everyday
teaching and learning is vital for each student’s overall success and well-being.

15. WHY A GLOBAL FOCUS IN
EDUCATION?
Career Readiness. Jobs of today
and of the future require cross-
cultural skills, flexibility, critical
thinking, and problem solving.
Digital Connectivity. Recent
technological advances connect
individuals from all corners of the
globe at lightning speed.
Demographic Diversity. Global
migration is at an all-time high.
15
MED4
As such, schools have an obligation to effectively equip students with the global-ready skills
to thrive in our complex, interconnected world.

16. GLOBALLY COMPETENT
TEACHING, LEARNING, AND
LEADING

combination of cognitive,
social-emotional, and
behavioral attributes.

models of student-centered
and inquiry-based pedagogy.

19

Global learning
when educators infuse
instruction with real-world
contexts that resonate with
students’ lives, interests,
experiences, and future
goals, students see value
and engage in what they are
learning. Student
engagement translates to
higher grades, academic
achievement, and
graduation rates (Klem &
Connell, 2004).
Beyond scholastic success, global learning further empowers students to be change agents
who make a positive difference in the world (Tichnor-Wagner, 2017).

20. SYNTHESIS
The Global Competencies for Educational
Leaders Framework responds to the need for
educational leaders to receive guidance and
professional learning on what it takes to lead global
learning in their schools. It explains how educational
leaders can cultivate global competence in students
and school staff so that each child is prepared for
college, career, and citizenship in our diverse,
interconnected world.
We believe that if educational leaders create
an environment that facilitates student learning and
builds globally competent teaching capacity in staff,
students will develop the academic, social-emotional,
and behavioral outcomes that lead to individual
success and a peaceful, prosperous future for all.
