What is Global Competence?

Global competence is the capacity and disposition to understand and act on issues of global significance. Download the free book here.

Looking for resources to help implement global competence in your school or classroom? Download a sample of the Graduation Performance System (GPS) here.

Five Reasons Why Global Competence Matters

1. Global competence is the toolkit a productive, involved citizenry uses to meet the problems and opportunities of the world.
In the curriculum, global competence challenges students to investigate the world, consider a variety of perspectives, communicate ideas, and take meaningful action. A globally focused curriculum engages students in their own learning and motivates them to strive for knowledge and understanding. And a curious, inspired student strives to learn more in school and beyond.

2. A new generation of students requires different skills from the generations that came before.
The world is changing fast. Boundaries-literal as well as figurative- are shifting and even disappearing altogether. The culture that once lived halfway around the world now lives just down the block. The ability to thrive in this new and rapidly changing environment is grounded in a globally focused curriculum.

3. More than ever before, individual actions reach around the globe.
Environmental concerns, economic shifts, global poverty, population growth, human rights, and political conflict can seem intractable and overwhelming, yet they absolutely require thoughtful action. In a globally focused curriculum, students learn that the world needs them to act, and that they can make a difference.

4. Global competence integrates knowledge of the world and the skill of application with the disposition to think and behave productively.
Global competence is not restricted to knowing about other cultures and other perspectives. In addition to knowledge of the world, a globally competent citizen exhibits habits like critical thinking, rational optimism, innovation, empathy, and awareness of the influences of culture on individual behavior and world events.

5. Success in career and life will depend on global competence, because career and life will play out on the global stage.
Already, government, business, and cultural institutions are called to solve the world's problems cooperatively. Engaging in these challenges requires high-order knowledge and thinking skill, as well as shared language and cultural understanding. In a globally focused curriculum, students prepare to approach problems from multiple perspectives and to thrive in a global future.

From Australia, lives in Oregon. Author who loves to connect with classrooms to get students excited about stories and writing! Great for K-8th. Like a grandma, kids love her. She also sends PDF's of her books for teachers. She and I created a Peace Day project; students talked with her about Peace in 3 categories: Self, Home, and World. She created a presentation. Students loved it! (k-4th)

Jessica's Response from PenPals about Translating Languages

# data[].attributes.body
Hi!

Great question - this is great to ask PenPals! It leads to some amazing insights about language learning around the world.

There are Chrome extensions that students use to translate web pages, or they use PenPal Schools as a tool for practicing English and so their teachers provide more scaffolding and language support. We do have some projects designed specifically for English Language Learners, so those will include more visuals and simpler sentence structures. We also offer projects in Spanish, French, and Mandarin Chinese so your students can get a taste of what it's like to learn in a new language, too!

It was great to meet you just now! Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Best,

Jessica
