Know My World is a global education resource organization founded and operated by teachers for teachers. Our mission is to offer coached virtual exchange experiences and curriculum resources to support relationship building, intercultural competence, and social and emotional learning between various countries and cultures.

Our programs and exchanges provide shared teaching and learning opportunities between participants, focused on the classroom teacher as the guide. The pivotal focus of Know My World is to promote enriching opportunities within and beyond the standard curriculum, through social, emotional and cultural competency, to transform the educative experience.
RATIONALE
We believe that people learn most effectively when focusing on 3 facets: Self-awareness, relationship to others, and global understanding. Through these 3 aspects, participants develop deeper connections and can feel empowered to foster communities and create social change. When people understand who they are emotionally, intellectually and culturally, they then possess a set of skills to explore critically. Applying methods such as self-reflection, open discussion, and group projects, students can make deep connections to the information they discover. They can think about their actions, the ways in which they coexist with cultural differences and similarities, and the impact it has on others. Ultimately, people can then create a deep understanding and mutual respect for the world they live in on both a local and global scale. A rich understanding of self and the surrounding world empowers people to incite and support social change. The Know My World™ website is a resource for sharing, learning and growth.
OVERVIEW
Know My World connects participants digitally in shared learning experiences. Interested teachers contact Know My World via an email request form via our E veryWorld Initative campaign, offered twice a year in January and August. Accepted applicants are matched from our global database with a partner school in another country. The virtual exchange relationships are facilitated by a KMW staff member to coach teachers in virtual exchange methodology. Participants work with the KMW facilitator and each other to collaborate and plan projects for their students. Teachers are provided with one on one support in intercultural collaboration, project design, inquiry-based learning, time-management and social, emotional and cultural understanding. Our goal is to provide teachers through experience with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to effectively replicate virtual exchange methodology using other platforms and programs in the future.

Know My World focuses on authentic and experiential learning through our T.R.A.C.E philosophy: Transformation, Relationship, Awareness, Connectivity and Experience. Our curriculum incorporates a pattern of learning starting with the self and our experiences, that allows students and teachers to build relationships with their immediate communities as well as the global community. T.R.A.C.E materials touch on aspects of global citizenship, leadership, character development and ownership through interdisciplinary studies, digital media and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) pathways. Read more about our philosophy here.

Schools, educators, students and individuals are invited to take advantage of our free and low-cost T.R.A.C.E focused materials including our digital workbook series and project sequences. Know My World also provides staff development training workshops based on the T.R.A.C.E philosophy that include but are not limited to Student Empowerment, Integrated Global Curriculum, Intercultural Communication, and Social Responsibility.

The KMW website is a global platform that centralizes and shares the work of our participants and displays virtual exchange content and T.R.A.C.E project examples.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN AN EXCHANGE:
Applicants are asked to complete the EveryWorld Iniative form during our January or August registration period. Accepted applicants are are then partnered with another teacher in the world. A Know My World Educational Coordinator will assist each partner with the connection through a 4-8 week learning relationship. See results of exchanges on our home page and find out more information about how the exchange process works on the EveryWorld Initative page.
