# data[].attributes.body
What? Physical environment of school

So What?  The students understand that what they are learning isn’t just a classroom initiative but it is a life initiative and is important not just to learn, but to live.

Now What?

Consider how to incorporate global competency into the lives of our students outside of the classroom, but still inside the school

What about you?

I am not sure exactly how this would look so it would take more conversation and understanding. But my goal is to get kids to see that it isn’t about just learning about the world but embracing they know about the world in their daily actions.

# data[].attributes.body
What? Curriculum: In my Chemistry and Living Environment courses, students engage in projects with “glocal” topics (Water Quality, and Solutions to the Pandemic, respectively). Currently, these projects focus heavily on “Investigate the World,” but they lack components in the domains of “Recognize Perspectives,” “Communicate Ideas,” and “Take Action.”

So What? By enhancing these other three domains into my already existing projects, I will increase student motivation, engagement, and learning. I will engage them in work that is truly of consequence in today’s global society.

# data[].attributes.body

Now What? Develop a list of teachers who are willing to participate in this endeavor.

*Still a work in progress!

# data[].attributes.body
What?  Talk to teachers about Global Ed

# data[].attributes.body
What? Curriculum Broadening
So What? One barrier to global education, I find is finding/creating the time to make it happen in the school day with a full load of curriculum already.  So, if we instead find learning targets that we can expand upon and connect to, teachers will be less resistant to teaching global competency.
Now What?Start with my own grade level.Look for learning targets that are more open ended or can easily be tied to global issues or are broad enough that global education could be tied in (ex: nonfiction texts).Present grade-level colleagues with ideas and resources for these targetsThen, begin looking at other grade levels to find ideas of curriculum expansion
What about you?Be confidentShare excitement and enthusiasm about new ideas, but be prepared for push-backMake sure to come prepared with why this is importantMake sure I’m taking the first steps/doing the work so it doesn’t look like I’m asking others to do more work
