Global competence has never been more important. The world is experiencing ongoing environmental vulnerabilities, racial inequalities, and an exploding digital revolution. For our students to engage in this world, they must be able to understand the perspectives of others, effectively interact across cultures, and take action towards the collective well-being of society. Learn the key skills K-12 students need to thrive in our interconnected world and how to integrate global competence into your curriculum, instruction, and assessments.
Required Text: Thriving in an Interconnected World requires one book entitled, Educating for Global Competence: Preparing Our Students to Engage in the World (2nd Edition) by Veronica Boix Mansilla and Anthony W. Jackson. This book must be purchased separately and can be found by clicking here.
