An Introduction to the site:

Picture


Greetings Global Educator,

This site is a basic global education resource guide designed to help educators and administrators globalize their teaching, curriculum, and leadership. It is only a small piece of a greater wealth of global education resources, tools, and information that is available to educators. This site can serve as a starting off point in your journey toward global education.  Within this site, you will find global education resources, local and international global organization contacts, digital learning resources, sample globalized unit/lesson plans, global education standards, assessment tools, my travel blog from Brazil, and much more. 

This capstone project is the result of my participation in the 2014-15 Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms Program (TGC). TGC is a year-long professional development fellowship for United States elementary, middle and high school teachers to become leaders in global education. TGC is a program of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and is administered by IREX. 

I hope that you find some inspiration and resources to help effect global change in your classroom, school, district, and state. If you have any thoughts, ideas, or questions. Please feel free to contact me!

Enjoy Globally,

Peter T. Schmidt, M.Ed.

                     Travel
As John Keats said, "Nothing is ever real 'til it is experienced." Travel and immersing oneself in another culture is the ultimate lesson in global education. Here you will find travel opportunities for students and teachers, my travel blog from my teaching experience in Brazil and my research question and reflection.
