What is Global Competence?
According to World Savvy, Global Competence refers to the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to navigate and succeed in today’s interconnected world. Globally competent individuals are life-long learners, have an appreciation for cultural differences, an ability to understand and consider multiple perspectives, critical and comparative thinking skills, problem solving abilities, comfort with ambiguity and change, and understand globally significant issues. Purpose of the Guide:
Globalizing a classroom may feel like an overwhelming task. The purpose of this guide is to provide teachers information and materials all in one convenient location. All of the materials, links and resources have been tested and recommended by educators. These resources are easy to use and many of the connections are local and welcome teacher interest. Please check back frequently, as I will but updating this site as I find new resources. I also welcome your input. I would love to include your ideas and resources in this guide. I look forward to working together with you on projects to help globalize our classrooms, one activity at a time.
