Fostering global competency in students is essential in today’s interconnected world. This is why iCivics has teamed up with Global Cities to host a two-part workshop series that explores new ways to connect local civic engagement to global topics and impacts while elevating your existing teaching curriculum. Stipends are available to participating teachers upon completion of at least one workshop.
This workshop series, which takes place Oct. 7 and 8, equips you with the tools and strategies to foster your students’ capacity to advocate for and contribute to local, regional, or global improvement.
Learn more about each workshop:
Workshop 1: Advance Your Curriculum with the Codebook for Global Student Learning Outcomes
October 7, 2024 7:00 p.m. ET
This workshop focuses on using the landmark Codebook for Global Student Learning Outcomes to integrate global competency into curriculum and instruction. The Codebook allows educators to determine how well students are demonstrating global learning in any program or classroom.
Workshop 2: Explore Inclusive Problem-Solving Using Community Surveys
October 8, 2024 7:00 p.m. ET
Join us for a second workshop to explore how to teach attitudes and skills for inclusive problem-solving using community surveys. You will walk away from this workshop with the tools to actively engage your students with their communities.
By taking advantage of this learning opportunity, you’ll earn a small stipend for your professional development. Participants who attend one workshop will receive $25; participants who join both workshops in the series will receive an additional $50; and all participants, up to the registration limit and with preference given to those who attend both workshops, will be eligible to participate in a follow-up focus group on December 12 or December 17 from 7–8 p.m. ET for an additional $100. (The total stipend could be $175.)
