GlobalEd.TV – Foundations of Global Education

GlobalEd TV is a free, inclusive, and comprehensive webinar series which spotlights theories and best practices related to multiculturalism in schools and organizations all over the world.

The series was hosted in 2016 and 2017 by the Global Education Conference Network, the Learning Revolution and Know My World, and is designed to inform educators, students, and parents about the role of cultural and global competence in education.  Ten recorded webinars are available at no cost on the GlobalEd.tv website to support global educators in understanding foundations of Global Education and the various elements of implementing quality learning interventions in the classroom.

2016 Overview:

GlobalEd TV is a 5-part series designed to inform educators, students and parents about global education and demonstrate best practices for implementation. Hosted twice a month by the Global Education Conference Network, the Learning Revolution and Know My World, participants will be included in a global conversation that invites experts in the field, practitioners and organizations to explore the impact of global education. Through themed sessions, interviews, dynamic examples, Q&A, and practical exercises, each one-hour segment provides participants with the knowledge and skills to bring global education to their schools and communities.

2017 Overview:

Globaled TV will look at the foundations for providing students with the kinds of social and emotional attitudes needed to be effective global citizens. Know My World will take teachers through a 5-part series which explains and documents real classroom projects that foster cultural identity, critical thinking, assumptions, communication and social responsibility. Every session will scaffold a learning path to build the appropriate attitudes for engaging in the world and with others. The accumulation will be a social impact project for the local community. Each 1-hour session will feature a project being implemented in the diverse, Know My World 3rd Grade Classroom in Taichung, Taiwan by educator and co-founder, Genevieve Murphy. Co-founder Lisa Petro will host the series and lead webinar participants through the project sequence, research behind each competency area and method, and share pre-recorded footage of students engaging in the instruction. At the end of each session, participants will receive a lesson sequence to replicate or modify in their classrooms.
