This document discusses using local resources to teach global lessons. It provides examples of local organizations, events, and communities that can help students learn about the world. These include sister cities programs, international festivals, campus events, local businesses with global connections, and interacting with diverse members of the local community. The document argues that aligning global competence standards with common core standards can help students investigate and understand other cultures and perspectives through lessons grounded in local experiences.

International education - Global currency or global citizenshipSherrie Lee
New Zealand hosts more than 100,000 international students each year. The value of international education, however, is often about global currency rather than global citizenship. Can we move beyond the economic discourse, and encourage meaningful intercultural relationships between international students and their host community? We can, and we must.

Global Classroom Stories & Launch (#GlobalEd12)Michael Graffin
The Global Classroom Project is envisaged as an online education community where teachers and students can connect, share, learn and collaborate on a global stage.
Over the course of the past two years, this vision has been brought to life by a team of dedicated educators around the world.
In the course of 2011-12, we hosted over 15 major global projects, and saw our education network grow to include over 300 teachers, and several thousand students. Our project blog and wiki have become vibrant spaces for sharing teachers’ global projects, and our Facebook and Skype groups have proved to be extremely valuable spaces for teachers to connect, and build global friendships.
This presentation hosted several major project announcements, and marked the official launch of Global Classroom 2012-13.

Assessing Team Process in Student Learning - presented by Sarah Chettleburgh and Trish Dyck, Team Coaches from Royal Roads University June 2016 Festival of Learning Conference
Pedagogical design for honors study abroad and beyond Beata Jones
We present a framework for design of learning activities within a context of an honors study abroad program. Translating into practice the fundamental principles of honors learning, such as challenge, learner autonomy, and being part of a community of learners, incorporating structured PRISM pedagogy (Williams, 2014), Fink’s (2003) guidelines for course design for significant learning experiences, and rigorous outcome assessment (AAC&U, 2010), the presenters developed a detailed curriculum design process that can be translated to any discipline and any honors classroom. A showcase of a student ePortfolio capturing the study abroad learning and competence development accompanies the presentation.
Presentation by Jennifer D. Klein at GlobalEdCon2011. Explores some of the best ideas out there about why and how to globalize the curriculum, looking at a variety of excellent examples of global projects across the K-12 curriculum.
This presentation gives a small taste of the material offered by Jennifer through her TIGed Professional Development e-Courses, as well as through live in-service presentations and teacher coaching in schools.
This presentation for the Global Education E-Conference explores using international sources and problem based learning to raise students' global consciousness.
This presentation by Jennifer D. Klein explores the importance of global education and educational strategies and pedagogy for transformative student experiences. Presented as part of the LearnCentral webinar series on August 31, 2011. See more about Jennifer's work at www.principledlearning.org.
Establishing a Research Agenda for U.S. Education AbroadCIEE
This session begins with a brief overview of the major trends in contemporary education-abroad research and an assessment of the major methodological and design challenges. We'll briefly look at the major theoretical models that traditionally have informed education-abroad research and conceptual frameworks from related disciplines that may further extend this research. Commonly used instruments are discussed in the context of measuring outcomes. Notable gaps in existing research and needed directions will be discussed. This session will be particularly relevant for both U.S.- and internationally based educators interested in establishing a research agenda for U.S. education abroad.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
