More on Global Competency

Although I consider myself a supporter and facilitator of global competency in education, I didn’t really think about what it involves until I read Yong Zhao’s Catching up or Leading the Way. After reading this great book I wrote about how teachers can build global competency in my first Global Competencypost.

I have recently come upon more resources for building global competency and wanted to share them here. As the new school year starts here in upstate New York, let’s make a commitment to weave in to all subjects components of global competency.

Global Competency wiki “Learn with the world, not just about the world” Has a great presentation on what global competency is. (includes the quote from above)

Celebrate global diversity by watching the video, ‘Where in the world is Matt’

Global Dimension: The world in your classroom Fantastic guide to resources to support global, intercultural, and environmental understandings.

To learn even more about global education, check out Global Education Conference 2010– a free, online conference coming in November 2010. I will be providing updates on this amazing conference as we progress in the planning.
