Know My World is an educational nonprofit organization that was founded by teachers for:
- Teachers who Recognize the importance and value of expanding their classroom curriculum beyond traditional pedagogies and approaches.
- Teachers who want to introduce their students to countries, cultures, and peers beyond their own comfortable cultural constructs and paradigms.
- Teachers who value multiculturalism and the diverse perspectives of the rich tapestry of humanity.
- Teachers who want to inspire visions of a better, safer, healthier, and more peaceful world in their students by bringing awareness of global and social issues to the forefront of their minds.
- Teachers who understand that the education of a student goes way beyond an academic focus and who are willing to invest time and energy to incorporate the teaching of soft skills related to social, emotional, and cultural learning into their curriculum.
- Teachers who seek to provide project based and collaborative learning opportunities to their students.
- Teachers who understand that students need to experience authentic learning experiences that ignite curiosity, interest, investigation, empathy, and cooperation.
- Teachers who know the value of connection and that by creating meaningful relationships, students’ perspectives change and they begin to explore more ways in which they can bring meaningful change to the world around them.
