Reich College of Education

Do you want to be a globally-minded teacher and leader in your future classroom, school, and community?  

App State's Reich College of Education is partnering with Participate Learning to offer a second cohort of the Global Leaders Scholars program.

The Global Leaders Scholars program will support you to become a globally competent leader who not only understands that you are a member of a global community, but will also show you how to take action to improve your local and global community.  This program will teach you how to infuse global learning opportunities across grade levels, subjects, and school-wide activities.  You will also learn how to develop skills and competencies in your students to unite them with others around the world and develop solutions to global challenges.

Global learning shouldn't be isolated to the social studies classroom.  It isn't saved for special events or theme weeks.  It goes deeper than decorating the hallways.  Global competencies should be taught and assessed alongside academic skills through the integration of problem solving about real-world global issues.  As we seek to address how to engage with questions regarding equity, diversity, and inclusion in our classrooms, global learning provides a space for students to explore their own identities as they appreciate their role as a global citizen.

Impactful global learning happens in a school when global issues and concepts are meaningfully woven into academic learning -- not an add-on or separate subject area.  The Global Leaders Scholars program will focus on the following core indicators:

• Relevance and Connection
• Academic Rigor
• Student-Centeredness

Does this work excite you?  Do you want to be a global teacher leader?  If so, then come join us on this journey!
