Classroom III

The presenter, Shari Albright, began her presentation with showing the Did You Know? video.

Are our students ready?

Rand, Price Waterhouse, and Microsoft are all concerned with global issues.

What is Global?International competences?

Knowledege, skills, and values. NCLB is not enough. Gates Challenge: The International Studies Schools Network (ISSN). Charlotte, NC has a couple. Best school practices. I will be looking at the handout. But, what is now happening in our district, and what are some steps we can do to enhance internationally-focused 21st century learning communities. Raising the bar on rigor is a major challenge. “If it was good enough for me, then why is not good enough for them?”

Think locally, Act Globally! No, Think Globally, act locally. This could help our kids understand issues in their community like gangs.

Student Learning Outcomes:

• Graduates prepared for post-secondary ed and life-long learning
• Deep foundational knowledge about the world through mastery of content. Example- digital storytelling->lesson plans->go teach the kids at the elementary school. Take kids to Heifer now that would be really cool! Takes kids beyond their comfort zone.
• Skills to engage successfully in life-long acquisition and development of knowledge in an increasingly interconnected world.
• Have attitudes and habibts of mind to work, live and learn with a diverse range of people.

Civil Rights Tour of the South was another project her school The International School of the Americas. She talked about how this tour was connected with Apart id in South Africa.

School Organization and Governance

Students and staff who elected to be a part of an internationally-focused education. Personalization so all students find their place and connection within the globally-focued mission of the school.

It is our time now to take this information and do what we can with it.

Opportunities to learn and lead so all members of the school community have access to and voice in shaping the school, its polices and practices.

Fulbright scholarships are now available for science and math teachers. I have to try to that.
