Our new senior elective offering, Facing Global Challenges, seeks to develop global leadership skills. Using materials and rubrics from the Center for Global Education and the Choices Program at Brown University as a guide, we have placed our seniors in a central role. Students now lead our Global Initiatives Program, promoting and running our global events series, educating the Poly community on the relevance of worldwide issues, and advocating for measures to address them on campus. This presentation will include a description of the course, what materials have been most effective, and what assessments have prompted our students to become more active, responsible, and reflective.Presented by: Ann Diederich, Polytechnic School

8 WWW.GEBG.ORG6th Annual Global Educators Conference Inclusion for LGB and Trans Youth in Global ProgramsDIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION IN GLOBAL EDUCATION | MUSIC ROOMMany schools have worked hard to make their campuses more inclusive for LGBTQ students and adults. But what about our global programs and eld experiences? In this workshop, we will explore specic steps that global programs at any stage can take to plan and execute program that support LGBTQ participants. One of the co-presenters has direct personal experience in this area and has presented GYLI in New Mexico for the last four years. Participants in this interactive and engaging presentation will learn about planning, logistics, and evaluation that can include and afrm LGBTQyouth.Presented by: Jacob Nash, Case Western Reserve University; Matt Nink, Stuart Center for Global Leadership, GYLI, Lake Forest AcademyGrowing an Exchange ProgramGLOBAL CURRICULUM AND CONTENT | WCCApproximately 20-25 students at Herlufsholm go on international exchanges every year. Student exchanges go between Denmark and countries as diverse as the US, Australia, India, Colombia, Kenya, and Peru. This workshop will discuss different goals of an exchange program and take time to explore how an exchange program can support a globalized education agenda. We will discuss how to manage teacher expectations surrounding exchanges, including sharing materials on grade tracking. Moreover, administration and supporting paperwork and materials will be shared, and we will make time for a discussion on documentation, differences in safeguarding procedures, and police checks. Finally we will attempt to make time for potential exchange partners to meet and greet, so bring your business cards.Presented by: Ann Hansen, Herlufsholm SkoleDeveloping a PK-8th Grade Global Citizenship CurriculumGLOBAL CURRICULUM AND CONTENT | ANNE CUTTER COBURN RECEPTION ROOMJoin us in a part presentation and part discussion about how to move global education programs forward for the PK-8th grades. Old Trail School has been developing a program for the past ve years and our process continues as we build on each year’s success. We will share the good, the bad, and the ugly of what we have experienced and learned. The focus of this presentation is process-based and will intentionally allow for signicant discussion time.Presented by: Jenn Milam, Old Trail SchoolFlipping the Script: When Educators Become the Students on a Cultural Immersion JourneyGLOBAL EDUCATION PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT | N206Our presentation will discuss a unique collaboration between GEBG and Where There Be Dragons. As part of the collaboration, we—along with 9 educators from GEBG member schools—embarked on travel-leader training, rooted in experiential learning and cultural immersion in Indonesia. The shift in perspective allowed us to step into the shoes of students who travel and experience a new culture, language, and country. During our stay, we participated in workshops and sustained daily conversations focused on generating best practices in global experiential education. This professional development opportunity further prepared us to work with students in cross-cultural environments, to create safer, more educational, and personally meaningful programming for students. We will share the training modules we completed on international risk management, cross-cultural facilitation, international trip design and curriculum, and community engagement. We also will provide accounts

Hathaway Brown School, Cleveland, Ohio // April 26-28, 20189of our personal learning experiences and the ways in which we have each implemented our training and assessment tools in our work since the program’s conclusion.Presented by: Ashley Armato, Palmer Trinity School; Karina Baum, Buckingham Browne & NicholsHarkness Travel : A Field-Based Student Leadership & Curriculum Development ModelTRAVEL PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT | BLACK BOXHow does one successfully transfer ownership for learning from a faculty-led program to a student-led program? How can we maximize student engagement based on their interests and desires? How can we maximize opportunities for real-life leadership and decision-making? The Lawrenceville School is now using a Harkness-based travel blueprint that not only answers these questions, but also includes secondary benets of improved risk management and reduced micro-management, making the job easier. This presentation will include video testimonials, a presentation to illustrate the overall framework, sample journals and support materials, and handouts describing student roles and responsibilities and the 10 Commandments of leading Harkness Travel.Presented by: John Hughes and Michael Hanewald, The Lawrenceville School12:00 — 1:00 P.M.Lunch Visit Exhibitors MARGERY STOUFFER BIGGAR ‘47 AND FAMILY DINING HALLSponsored by Rustic Pathways1:00 — 1:10 P.M.GEBG Leadership Vote MARGERY STOUFFER BIGGAR ‘47 AND FAMILY DINING HALL1:15 — 2:15 P.M.SESSION III: BREAKOUT PRESENTATIONSLaying the Foundation for Global Citizenship in the Elementary Science ClassroomDEVELOPING GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP | ANNE CUTTER COBURN RECEPTION ROOMOffering authentic, developmentally appropriate global citizenship learning experiences for elementary school students can be a challenge. Ask an eight year old to grapple with geo-political tensions or ethnic violence, and you’ll nd them quickly asking when recess starts. That is, until one considers the elementary science classroom as their portal to the world. There, students already spend time asking open-ended questions, observing, collaborating, and developing flexible problem solving skills, all foundational to building future world citizens. In the science classroom, hands-on learning in the appropriate content areas naturally leads to brains-on thinking about phenomena with global reach. Science-content explorations can bridge to issues like water conservation, hunger, or access to light for doing homework, all of which create genuine human connections between young children and their counterparts around the world. Further, as elementary students learn more about these concrete global problems they can see avenues for addressing global injustice and thereby feel empowered by

10 WWW.GEBG.ORG6th Annual Global Educators Conference their learning rather than overwhelmed by the desperation of global situations. Join us for an overview of one school’s globally-centered elementary science curriculum. Benet from the wisdom and the wide-ranging experiences of all of the fellow educators in the room as we collaborate and create the seeds for possible science units to bring back to your own school.Presented by: Elizabeth S. Grumbach, Elementary Science Teacher, All-School Diversity Committee Tri-clerk, Moses Brown SchoolEmbracing Empathy in Classrooms: Teaching Dialogues Across DifferencesGLOBAL CURRICULUM AND CONTENT | N206You have just been on the wrong end of an offensive comment or a colleague reported overhearing hearing an insensitive comment about race or sexual orientation. Or you have unintentionally said something and noticed that a colleague had a strong negative reaction. What do you do in these moments? This presentation takes participants through the steps to embrace tricky and potentially uncomfortable moments in schools through productive and sometimes uncomfortable dialogue. Join us to learn about our Dialogues Across Difference curriculum. This signature academic course, which is a graduation requirement, teaches students and faculty how to get through these tricky and uncomfortable moments. The six-week course is taken by all ninth-graders entering the school. This workshop will introduce participants to this truly unique independent school class that combines core elements of the Middlesex experience: global studies, diversity, equity, and inclusion, spiritual and ethical life, and mindfulness. Focused on more than just character development, this workshop and course is academic in nature. It requires participants to learn and apply specic interpersonal skills to issues of cross-cultural competency that students and peers encounter on campus, in society, and as they prepare to enter a global workforce.Presented by: Robert Munro and Rebecca Smedley, Middlesex SchoolThe Universal Language: Pairing Curriculum with Technology to Create the Global OrchestraGLOBAL CURRICULUM AND CONTENT | MUSIC ROOMThe Northwest School connects students from eight schools on ve continents in a unique international experience exploring the power of music to transcend all barriers of language, culture, socioeconomic status, race, religion, politics, and war. This year-long project infuses music curriculum with global citizenship and social justice, using technology to partner with schools around the world to create the Global Orchestra, and culminating in a performance together in a virtual concert.Presented by: Jo Nardolillo, The Northwest SchoolPreparation & Back-Up: A Holistic Approach to Risk ManagementRISK MANAGEMENT | WCCOver the last 30 years, World Challenge has sent more than 130,000 young people to developing world nations to take part in remote community engagement initiatives and adventurous activities. Safety and support have always been a focus, and their experience has allowed them to develop a tried and tested approach to risk management, combining industry leading back-up with a highly proactive focus on preparation and continuous monitoring. World Challenge takes a holistic approach to preparation, drawing on expert advice from its many consultants and the vast data stored in their bespoke incident database. This session will address best practice for risk management when

We hope also to provide members with the condence to offer to their students adventurous activities in developing world settings.Presented by: Dan Porter, World Challenge Expeditions; Tom Crowley, Francis Parker SchoolIt Takes a Village: Supporting Teachers Through Pedagogical Shifts to Student-Centered TeachingTECHNOLOGY | N207This session will highlight the trials and successes of project-based learning experiences in a middle school science classroom, focused on design and technology innovation. This session will also address how administrators can support teachers as they experiment with their pedagogy and begin to shift their teaching from a teacher-centered to a student-driven classroom.Presented by: Amy Wilkes, Mount Vernon Presbyterian School; Shayna Cooke, World Leadership School; Larisa Pender-Healy, Mount Vernon Presbyterian SchoolSearching for Substance: Lenses of Inquiry TRAVEL PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT | BLACK BOXDesigning and carrying out a student travel program can often feel like a struggle to connect disjointed elements and nd relevance among disparate experiences. For new and experienced leaders alike, the challenge of searching for substance can be mitigated by a utilizing a framework for guided inquiry. Participants in this session enhance their capacity to curate travel experiences with intentionality and cohesive programming by engaging with strategies, routines, and guiding principles. Anchored in a close look at one particular GEBG collaborative program in South Korea, participants will explore a methodology for enhancing student experience, starting with pre-trip coursework and preparation. We take the next step by providing best practices for creating a fabric of student leadership throughout program design and implementation. Lastly, participants learn to use lenses of inquiry to guide learning, from early itinerary design to structuring moments of reflection during travel. We close with an interactive workshop using scenarios to apply our learning. Presented by: Bridgette Nadzam-Kasubick, Hathaway Brown School; Mason Hults, Envoys2:15 — 2:30 P.M.Coffee Break HB ATRIUM

By repurposing two weeks at the end of the school year, we opened our daily schedule to allow for flexibility in time and place. Lion Term offers local and global opportunities without the constraints of a traditional schedule. In this session we will detail the process of implementing Lion Term. Driven by the strategic plan and tied closely to our mission, we have stayed true to our goals throughout. We hope to offer some advice on lessons learned before, during, and after the rst Lion Term, which took place in May and June 2017, and from which we gathered extensive feedback.Presented by: Elizabeth McColloch and Nat Waters, St. Mark’s SchoolDiscovering Purpose and “Saving the World” in 45 Minutes per WeekGLOBAL CURRICULUM AND CONTENT | N206How can we, as educators, help students uncover their gifts and passions and use them to meet the needs of the world in concrete ways today? Kelsea Turner, middle school teacher at Spartanburg Day School, and Vicki Weeks, founder of Global Weeks and co-facilitator of the summer educator course Exploring Purpose in the Peruvian Andes, met on an educator course in Nepal. They share a dedication to helping young people change the world at the intersection of personal purpose and global education. Join us in this interactive session as we share the story of how uncovering your own sense of purpose and articulating it to your students sets the stage for helping them nd their own. We will walk you through using the 20Time model to inspire student-led change from within their own hearts to the farthest reaches of the globe. We will give you the strategies and resources to guide your students toward creating meaningful change in a world that desperately needs young people with the experience and condence to take it on and make it happen.Presented by: Kelsea Turner, Spartanburg Day School; Vicki Weeks, Global WeeksHistory-Music CollaborationGLOBAL CURRICULUM AND CONTENT | ANNE CUTTER COBURN RECEPTION ROOMPolitics and culture are inextricably linked. Today the increasingly important role of culture in the political climate is becoming even more apparent. Unfortunately, the importance of culture is often overlooked in traditional history courses. Through the History-Music Collaboration, we seek to show students how politics affects culture and vice-versa through various class projects as well as collaborations within the Cleveland community, such as with the Cleveland Orchestra. Our goal is to help students gain this understanding now so that they can use it to better contextualize current and future world events. During this session you will learn how we developed and implemented this collaboration into a 10th-grade Modern World History course and how you can take this premise and adapt it to your ownclassroom.Presented by: Elizabeth Stineman and Laura Webster, Hathaway Brown School; Martha Baldwin, The Cleveland Orchestra, Cleveland Institute of Music

Hathaway Brown School, Cleveland, Ohio // April 26-28, 201815Global Risk Management: Evaluating and Institutionalizing the Process at One SchoolRISK MANAGEMENT | MUSIC ROOMThe challenges of global risk management have grown exponentially in the past few years as schools seek to expand travel offerings, encourage student experiential independence, and address possible real-time incidents that could harm a school with legal challenges. Several years ago, Providence Day School started a risk management team that looks at the benets and costs of student travel, ongoing revision of study tour preparation, communication tools, insurance coverage, and leadership support. More recently, Providence Day School implemented an enterprise risk management framework that incorporates travel across the school. Monitoring, assessing, and mitigating risk is a continuous process. The presenters will share the school’s process of evaluating risk and determining the practical measures it takes as it continues to support global initiatives. Presented by: Kristen Kral and Katie Kirkland, Providence Day SchoolThe Study Abroad Dumbphone ProjectTECHNOLOGY | BLACK BOXThis workshop shares the ndings of a comprehensive study conducted by School Year Abroad on the effects of smartphones and social media use on student learning abroad and offers next steps for purpose-based technology use in international education. For a three-month period, SYA students were divided into three groups: Those who wished to continue their smartphone usage without limits, those who volunteered to trade in their smartphone for a dumbphone, and those who turned in their phone and made a commitment to limited use of internet for social media or leisure purposes. Each group took weekly surveys that charted a number of factors including time spent with locals and target language use. In addition all participants were charted for growth in intercultural competence using the Intercultural Development Inventory. Along with the results of this study, participants will leave with strategies to address technology use during their own programs and by extension in their own classrooms.Presented by: Aric J. Visser, School Year AbroadGlobal Immersion Model—Three Weeks of Classes and Three Weeks of TravelTRAVEL PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT | N207In this session, participants will hear about the new global immersion model adopted at The Blake School in Minneapolis. The Blake Global Immersion model entails three weeks of coursework and three weeks of travel”and is a credit-bearing experience, equivalent to a one-semester elective course. We are in our third year and the student outcomes have been wonderful to see. The student travel experience is only enhanced by the customized curriculum and 60 hours of class time. Blake’s Director of Global Programs will share more about connecting curricula to global travel and the challenges and benets. There will also be room for an open discussion of travel/immersion related curriculum development, effective immersion planning strategies, and innovations in immersion programming.Presented by: Dion Crushshon, The Blake School4:55 — 5:40 P.M.Regional Meetings and Cocktail Hour MIDDLE SCHOOL CLASSROOMS, THIRD FLOOR

Hathaway Brown School, Cleveland, Ohio // April 26-28, 201817Developing the 21st Century Scholar Through Self-Directed Inquiry on Global Citizenship: Extant Notions on ImmigrationGLOBAL CURRICULUM AND CONTENT | N207This session will share how Palmer Trinity School initiated the Honor Seminar for eighth-grade students with the aim of cultivating meaningful, self-directed inquiry about timely, complex global issues that challenge our very notion of globalization and our place within the phenomenon. Taking into account PTS’ geographic proximity to Central and South America and our signicant student population of 15 percent immigrants and 30 percent children of recent immigrants, we chose to explore the germane topic of immigration to the United States. In this presentation, we will highlight the ways in which we created collaborative, interdisciplinary, and distinctive curriculum inspired by the long-term goal of partnering with a school in another region of the U.S. that is dealing with similarly rich complexities spanning varied immigration groups. Our approach to collaborative interdisciplinary curriculum design and professional development provides a pattern for any school community interested in cultivating student curiosity and intellectual investment in inquiry and authentic engagement in global issues.Presented by: Adrianna P. Truby and Anderson A. Stewart, Palmer Trinity SchoolMeeting Global Standards Through Energy and ActivismGLOBAL CURRICULUM AND CONTENT | WCCWhat happens when you collaborate with colleagues across disciplines, expose children to rsthand research opportunities, and give fourth-graders a topic as large as “energy” to tackle? The result is a year-long study involving climate action, sustainable communities, justice, innovation, and community impact. Through this unit, fourth-grade students at BB&N developed signicant knowledge around clean energies and sought to nd ways to make a lasting impact on their community and beyond. Come and learn about the value of interdisciplinary work as global perspectives are woven through a highly integrated unit that motivates children to be agents of change. Presented by: Christina DelloRusso and Maria Elena Derrien, Buckingham Browne & NicholsScouting Trips Through the Lenses of Risk Management, Education, and LogisticsRISK MANAGEMENT | ANNE CUTTER COBURN RECEPTION ROOMScouting trips are well planned expeditions that efciently and effectively gather the information necessary to conduct a professional educational global travel program. Drawing on our experience scouting and running programs in South Korea, Tanzania, The Dominican Republic, and others, Deereld Academy will share a scouting trip model answering the questions of why, when, and how to execute scouting trips from three different lenses: risk management, education, and logistics. Come join our discussion, and take a closer look into the scouting trips process.

These trips were popular and served as a precursor for Groton’s early global program. By 2012, we were traveling to Peru, Tanzania, India, Uganda, and China. The initial purpose of these trips was travel, but then there was a desire for us to “do good” in the world and it wasn’t long before we were talking about alleviating poverty, helping

18 WWW.GEBG.ORG6th Annual Global Educators Conference people less fortunate than ourselves, building facilities and other such projects so that our students felt a real sense of purpose and achievement. Enthusiastic and well-intentioned we were reporting back on the work that we were doing around the globe and generating much enthusiasm amongst our students. But it wasn’t long before other faculty began to ask questions about these trips. Why were we traveling thousands of miles to do service when we can do it on our doorstep? Why were we doing all this construction work? Were we seriously alleviating poverty? Is it right to develop character off the backs of our hosts? Over the next few years, our service programs evolved into global education opportunities and our pedagogy changed from service and charitable work to advancing global competency through experiential education. This session will examine some of the challenges we faced and some of the reasons why we made this paradigm shift.Presented by: Nishad Das, Groton SchoolChina: Beyond Language and Culture ToursTRAVEL PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT | WCCThe Wakeeld School and RHT Education will showcase unique interactive study and travel programs into the heartland of Mainland China. In direct response to the student community’s inquiry, “Why should I study Chinese,” this presentation will guide you through new pathways to enhance Chinese language and culture acquisition on a higher level where practical skills in a wide range of career disciplines can be honed. China’s globally renowned education expert Rob Cochrane will demonstrate the potential, the trends, and the pitfalls of working with Chinese interests in hands-on projects. The discussion also will include the Wakeld 2017 Art in China tour. Attendees will listen to the rsthand experiences of students, teachers, and parents who have undertaken bespoke programs that include a creative approach to the traditional China study tour. That creative approach will be expanded into an entire suite of opportunities varying from inter-school competitions, in-China camps, and short-term internships. The concept of future models of China study tours will be examined with a focus on multi-outcomes that blend traditional language and culture with the specicity of theme-based learning and the practicality of employability.Presented by: Rob Cochrane, RHT Education; David Colón, Wakeeld School9:55 — 10:45 A.M.Featured SpeakerORVILLE SCHELLAuthor and Journalist, Director of the Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China RelationsIntroduction by Clare Sisisky, Director The Institute for Responsible Citizenship, Collegiate School, Incoming Executive Director, GEBGTHE AHUJA AUDITORIUMSponsored by Where There Be Dragons10:55 — 11:15 A.M.Coffee Break HB ATRIUMSponsored by Alexander Muss High School in Israel

Hathaway Brown School, Cleveland, Ohio // April 26-28, 20181911:25 A.M. — 12:25 P.M.SESSION VII: BREAKOUT PRESENTATIONSAre International Service Trips Poverty Tourism? How to Engage Responsibly with Global CommunitiesDEVELOPING GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP | ANNE CUTTER COBURN RECEPTION ROOMInternational service trips provide students with the opportunity to feel as if they are helping a community. But are they doing more harm than good? This interactive workshop will include discussions about how to engage responsibly with global communities using models of solidarity approaches rather than charity models. Queries include: How do we shift our attitudes to a place of cultural humility? How do we address issues of inequality, human rights, discrimination, and other injustices on our global travel programs? How do we prepare students to continue their engagement once they return home? How do we create community partnerships around dignity, empowerment, and capacity building? Several learning tools will be introduced to start these conversations at schools with students, faculty, and staff. Content will build on models for global learning for social justice, critical service learning, and critical global citizenship.Presented by: Shoshanna Sumka, Sidwell Friends School; Tené Howard, Packer Collegiate InstituteEmbracing Controversial Topics: Teaching “I Am Malala” as a Vehicle to Develop Global CitizenshipGLOBAL CURRICULUM AND CONTENT | BLACK BOXMalala Yousafzai’s story in “I Am Malala” is dramatic, inspiring, and thought-provoking; a perfect vehicle to increase global understanding in students. In today’s highly politicized climate, Pakistan, Islam, and terrorism are seen to be intertwined in a single story in popular media—one that promotes fear and heightened misunderstandings. In this workshop, educators can learn about how to teach global texts such as “I Am Malala,” specically, participants will walk through the journey that my students take, discovering classroom activities and pedagogical tools that enable students to see complicated and controversial themes from multiple perspectives. While the presentation focuses on Malala’s story, the ideas presented are applicable to different disciplines across grade levels and can be used for any global literature, especially one that tackles challenging topics. Presented by: Sameera Anwar, Ravenscroft SchoolDeveloping Purpose: Laurel School’s Capstone ExperienceGLOBAL CURRICULUM AND CONTENT | N206Using the lenses of civic engagement, entrepreneurship, global studies, and STEAM, Laurel School’s Capstone Experience is student-driven and incorporates research, mentorship, peer collaboration, leadership, internships, and travel into a three-and-a-half-year, competitive-admission Upper School program.

But how do we get students excited about the nuanced trips? We’ve all seen our favorite, most creative programs get cancelled from lack of enrollment. How do we build a culture of trips at our schools that cross disciplines, attract the right students, and get past destination envy? Let’s explore the next generation of global travel programs that ll in the gap between service, language, and partnerships but push beyond “academic tourism.” We will discuss examples from a recent MKA econ and design trip and exchange tips in recruiting students for challenging programs that break the mold.Presented by: Cort Bosc, Montclair Kimberley Academy; Adam White, Atlas WorkshopsNavigating the GEBG DatabaseTRAVEL PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT | N207The GEBG Database is an invaluable resource for global directors that is currently underutilized by member schools. Attendees should come to the session with their laptops; if you don’t have access to the GEBG Database, you will be shown how to connect to it at the start of the session (an early arrival would be appreciated). Following a presentation on the rationale and importance for regular institutional use of the database, attendees will be shown how to navigate the database on their own and will begin to add travel program and incident data. Immediately, participants will see the stats generated as a result of this data entry. You’ll be able to leave the session knowing that your contributions to the database during the session helped grow and improve the platform for the greater GEBG as well as your own institution.Presented by: Michael Hanewald, The Lawrenceville School; Nishad Das, Groton School12:30 - 1:30 P.M.Lunch MARGERY STOUFFER BIGGAR ‘47 AND FAMILY DINING HALLSponsored by World Leadership School
