What does it mean to be a school that is dedicated to learning for sustainability, the full implementation of global competency in curriculum, and relevant community impact? The Inspire Citizens’ Global Impact School model provides a blueprint that allows educators and schools to pinpoint areas of opportunity and development around nine strands for greatest, sustainable impact. Participants will get hands-on opportunities to experience of each of the stands, helping to pinpoint next steps towards transformative global competence education via:

Analyzing opportunities and parlaying cultural, geographical, and educational strengths of the school and community.

Supporting missions, visions, and unity of community culture around global competence Ensuring research-driven, best practices in professional learning communities and development.

Seamlessly embedding global competence into pre-existing curriculum, pedagogical approaches, and new initiatives to bring relevance and life to teaching and learning.

Creating student, teacher, and community wellbeing programs that identify wellness strands connected to social-emotional learning, physical, financial, and mental health.

Partnering locally and globally to implement the UN SDGs and global competence initiatives by students, teachers, and whole schools.
