FRANCIS PARKER SCHOOL, SAN DIEGO, CA // APRIL 7-9, 2022 79:00–9:50 AMBREAKOUT SESSION IConnections are Key: Bridging STEM and DEI through Global EducationTRAVEL PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND OVERSIGHTLAWRENCE COMMONS/P101 The presentation will focus on how to implement global programming in a manner that utilizes both a Belonging and Inclusion lens as well as a STEM-based global issues lens. Rooted in the idea that social and global issues are interconnected, the presentation will critically examine these connections and share examples of how to create a holistic and interdisciplinary program for students. As educators, we often see the clear bridge from humanities based classes to DEI and Belonging work. This presentation aims to ll the gap in the conversation and programming around STEM and Belonging work.Presented by Kevin Murungi, Director of Global Extensions, and Morgan Baum, Global Extensions Coordinator; Avenues: The World School (NY, USA)Cultural Literacy: The 5th Skill in World Language DevelopmentCLASSROOM AND VIRTUAL CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTVITERBI SCIENCE CENTER/C102When teaching a world language, it can be easy to assume that cultural literacy is an automatic component. Many fail to realize that cultural literacy must be intentionally incorporated into each course. In order for world language students to move to procient, cultural literacy is a necessity.Presented by Erica Star Coffey, Director of Inclusion & Global Engagement, Collegiate School (VA, USA)Books that Build Belonging: Amongst Colleagues FOR StudentsPROFESSIONAL GROWTH FOR GLOBAL EDUCATORSVITERBI SCIENCE CENTER/C104In 2018 a classroom teacher and lower school librarian partnered to initiate a Children’s Literature Book Club that sought to engage lower school faculty in meaningful discussions around current children’s literature that provides an avenue for children to explore current issues, foster empathy, and develop a global perspective. Participating faculty reect on how new titles in children’s literature may enhance or replace the texts they have traditionally used to teach literary themes. In this presentation we will share the concept of the book club, how to engage faculty in this type of professional learning, suggested themes and books lists, our process for selecting texts, and reections on successes andchallenges.Presented by Avery Teichman, Kindergarten Teacher, and Meghan Rinehart, Lower School Librarian; Charlotte Latin School (NC, USA)Religion and Global Education: Making the Connection for Religious Literacy and Interfaith ActionCOLLABORATIVE LEADERSHIP OF GLOBAL EDUCATION (I.E. DEIJ, SEL)LINDA VISTA LIBRARY/MAIN FLOORAlthough scholars often refer to the “resurgence” of religion in world affairs, the reality is that religion has always been a phenomenon deeply rooted in all aspects of human personality and social life. For global educators, the religious dimensions of the cultures and societies we study and interact with, and in the lives of the students we teach, are of deep importance – we know that it is impossible to ignore religion and educate for global citizenship. Many of our schools, programs, and ourselves as

9th Annual Global Educators Conference 8 WWW.GEBG.ORGindividuals are inspired by religion, faith, and/or ethical commitments. These commitments shape our work as global educators and practitioners in diverse ways. We may work at a school rooted in a religious tradition’s mission, teach subjects that intersect with religion and world affairs, and/or be personally interested in exploring how to connect global education with religion to support our students and promote religious literacy. Come explore how we are incorporating faith dimensions in our global work with our students and partner communities.Presented by Melody Fox Ahmed, Director of Global Programs, National Cathedral School (DC, USA); Jessica Campbell, Director of the Center for Global Studies, Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart; and Dr. Jeanne Downey-Vanover, Assistant Head of Upper School/Chair of World Languages, and Dr. Katie White, Director of Social Action and Upper School English Teacher; Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart (MD, USA)PANEL DISCUSSION: Virtual Exchange and Global Collaboration NICHOLAS COMMONSHear from global educators who have created and sustained virtual programming that connects students in intercultural learning through dialogue and collaboration with partners.

DEIJ, SEL)LAWRENCE COMMONS/P101Imagine waking up one day to nd your school on national news. Imagine having mere weeks to reframe your global education program in the face of a worldwide pandemic. Imagine building the program and strategies to infuse global initiatives, equity, and belonging into all facets of school life in the midst of social unrest. Share in Miami Country Day School’s journey in tackling issues that have become such a part of education today. By placing students at the center of its work on diversity, shifting the mindset from inclusivity to belonging, and navigating how to foster and dene the global citizen in the age of a pandemic, Miami Country Day School found the purpose in its work to live out the school’s mission of every student, every day, everywhere.Presented by Glen Turf, Chief Ofcer for Global Initiatives, Equity & Belonging, and Linda Chambers, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Belonging, Miami Country Day School (FL, USA)Collaboration Across Cultures: Developing Empathy and Risk-Taking through SDGs & LiteratureCLASSROOM AND VIRTUAL CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTVITERBI SCIENCE CENTER/C102Through a 5 week partnership, students at Palmer Trinity School in Miami, Florida and Herlufsholm Skole in Denmark worked together on a piece of literature. They worked through analysis of their chosen book and related it to the associated Sustainable Development Goal and also found relevant non-ction articles for current perspectives on their issues which they analyzed. Finally, they were challenged to present their Ah Ha moments during an online student-led extravaganza where the command was to be more Tik Tokky than Ted Talky. We challenged them to be creative and courageous and to present their work in a way that engaged and captivated their peers. In this presentation, we will share all pieces of the work from weekly assignments, book suggestions and student material. Finally, we will share student and teacher reections and suggestions for further use. Participants in this workshop will leave with all materials to repeat this unit at home.Presented by Ann Hansen, Head of Global Development, Herlufsholm Skole (Denmark) and AdriannaTruby, Academic Dean, Palmer Trinity School (FL, USA)Global Citizenship for Young LearnersPROFESSIONAL GROWTH FOR GLOBAL EDUCATORSVITERBI SCIENCE CENTER/C104There is a subset of global education scholars who generally agree that global citizenship education has not yet been recognized as having a meaningful impact in early childhood spaces. This is an exceptional oversight as children begin an exploration of their surroundings at birth and in their rst eight years, rapidly develop the skills that they will use for the rest of their lives to analyze and make meaning of the world. The failure of research in the eld of global citizenship education on its benets to very young children as this process is happening is due, in part, to a lack of knowledge about these cognitive and socio-emotional functions. It is also due to disregard by the general public towards

FRANCIS PARKER SCHOOL, SAN DIEGO, CA // APRIL 7-9, 2022 11the capacity of early educators (teachers, families and community members), and the spaces that they occupy, to support the lessons that lead to the development of successful global citizens. With very few exceptions, the eld is almost void of work that effectively articulates the value of global citizenship education in early childhood spaces. As such, there is little to guide early educators in search of global education teaching strategies that are both developmentally appropriate and culturally responsive. The discourse, where it does exist, has lived almost exclusively in the upper grades and even there, subjects like social studies, world history, literature and economics are often taught in ways that consistently fail to educate about the value of and successes within third world histories or to message to students their positions as community members with their peers (both locally and globally). Based on Dr. Hancock’s soon to be published text “Global Citizenship Education for Young Learners: Practice and Possibility” (Taylor and Francis, March, 2022) this workshop is an opportunity for educators of young children (pre-k through 1st grade) to explore the resources available to them as they build educational spaces to support the healthy development of a new generation of global citizens. It is also hoped that this workshop will spark conversation between early educators and global educators to think more expansively about what effective global citizenship education can look like across a variety of spaces that support young children’s learning.Presented by Robin Elizabeth Hancock, Director of Global Learning and Community Engagement, Packer Collegiate Institute (NY, USA)Off-Campus Study Risk Management Beyond COVID-19 RISK MANAGEMENTLINDA VISTA LIBRARY/MAIN FLOORMuch of the risk management conversation in the last year has focused on public health. As we return to day-long, overnight, and overseas trips, there is an opportunity to extend risk-aware practices from disease transition to common—and hopefully not forgotten—off-campus study risks. To begin this presentation, United Educators data, examples, and stories will help highlight the big and small risks to off-campus study that will persist as the pandemic recedes. Then we will walk through tactics to mitigate off-campus study risks from before a program is approved through post-trip risk reviews. At the conclusion of this session, we will reserve time to walk through a crisis scenario adapted from UE’s claims experience. Consider how you and your colleagues would respond, then take the scenario back to campus and practice your school’s response.Presented by Justin Kollinger, Senior Risk Management Consultant, United Educators (MD, USA)

This presentation will examine ways in which educator intercultural competencies can be measured, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and how this insight can provide pathways to reection, professional development, and pedagogical impact. An overview of peer-reviewed research from the past decade will provide a glimpse at how professional researchers are examining approaches to intercultural competencies growth in K-12 educators. This will include insight into professional growth interventions, including domestic-based programs and study abroad opportunities for in-service educators. Attendees will be encouraged to share their own strategies and challenges. The presenter will provide insight into the development of an educator-focused intercultural competencies assessment survey that GEBG member schools are welcome to sample at no cost.Presented by David Lynn, Director of International Studies, Charlotte Country Day School (NC, USA)How to Pivot to (and Sustain) Virtual Global ExchangesCLASSROOM AND VIRTUAL CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTVITERBI SCIENCE CENTER/C102Since the inception of our Global Education Program ten years ago, a core component has been Virtual Learning. Until the pandemic, almost every student in every grade in our PreK-12 school was connecting with students around the world through blogs and live and recorded videos. Relying on partnerships forged through a variety of means, we have been able to sustain global friendships across the school, and we are adding new online programs this year. This presentation will look closely at 1) specic kinds of mediums and types of exchanges, 2) ways of nding partner schools, 3) best practices learned through trial and error, and 4) means of assessing exchanges in terms of their effectiveness in meeting programmatic mission goals. Bring your laptop. The session will end with time for guided exploration and experimentation on your own to begin planning new virtual exchanges or to improve those already in place at your school.Presented by Michael Roemer, Ph.D., Director of Global Education, Trinity Valley School (TX, USA)

This project aligns with our school’s global competency framework and philosophy, and employs a collaborative curriculum that fosters relationships across cultural differences. Through our partnerships with schools in Tanzania, Haiti, Massachusetts and the Navajo Nation in Arizona, students use the arts to learn about places, peers, and multiple perspectives. This year we are focusing on water, drawn from SDGs 13, 14, & 15. Since each school has a different relationship with, and use of water, students share about their own experience and hear from others fostering understanding and discovery that inspire action. This project uses art and language as a means to study science, social justice, and leadership skills. Through this collaboration, students are encouraged to see themselves as change-makers working in unison as members of a global community.Presented by Sasha Bergmann, Ceramics Instructor & 7th Grade Advisor, and Saskia Van Vactor, Lower School Art Teacher; Buckingham, Browne, & Nichols School (MA, USA)

This was a core subject related to the teaching and development of citizenship. Recent events underscore the importance of a civic education. What might a reimagining of civics look like? What do civics have to do with global education? In this session, we will explore the text “Uncommon Civics”, a text written and published by the presenter in 2018. We will explore the 4V model for civic engagement and questions to be asked around mission. The argument will be made that schools with a strong denition of public purpose will have a stronger foundation for global leadership work. In other words, the global begins at home and through reimagining civics.Presented by Diego Duran-Medina, Director of the Stuart Center for Global Leadership, Lake Forest Academy (IL, USA)Virtual Experience Design: The Activate Your Citizenship Student ConferenceCLASSROOM AND VIRTUAL CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTVITERBI SCIENCE CENTER/C102In late April 2021, Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School and Envoys convened a 2.5-day virtual conference for ninety middle school students from around the globe centered on the theme, “Activate Your Citizenship.” Replacing a would-have-been in-person conference, this convening focused on student civic engagement and activism contextualized in Atlanta, GA. Students immersed themselves virtually with organizations like the Georgia Justice Project, the High Museum, the Center for Civil and Human Rights , SCAD and many others, to hear the experiences of experts and collaborated with one another to imagine new ways to express their agency as citizens of the world. In this session, we will share our path of curriculum design, planning, and implementation and lead participants in a short ideation and design session. Participants will leave with helpful templates and tools to design and implement your own immersive virtual convening.Presented by Erik Vincent, Director of Humanities and Global Studies, Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School (GA, USA) and Annie Peuquet, VP for Partnerships, Envoys (CO, USA)Developing a Program Review Process to Strengthen Overall Impact of TravelProgramsTRAVEL PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND OVERSIGHTLINDA VISTA LIBRARY/MAIN FLOORMany GEBG member schools have worked carefully to develop travel risk management plans, aligned with GEBG Standards, but once those are in place, how do you continue to strengthen and further develop your protocols? This session will share a framework for conducting a comprehensive review of your school’s already established travel health and safety protocols to identify areas for growth and improvement. It will also help attendees to understand how this type of focused review on a critical area like health and safety, can positively inform other key priorities at your school such as equity and access to travel, learning outcomes, resource allocation and mission alignment.Presented by Nora Moffat, Director, Center for Global Leadership, Academy of Notre Dame de Namur (PA, USA) and Marcia Henisz, Principal, SASSIE (Solutions for Academia Safety & Security International Experiences) Consulting (PA, USA)

Students are able to connect with global learners around the world, participate in real-world conversations, and learn from authentic and diverse perspectives. These exchanges offer equitable solutions and access to enriched opportunities. Participants will hear from teachers, students and partner schools about 3-4 different examples including; World Issues partnership with Israeli students; our student-led grassroots ePals program and the Civic Ambassadors program.Presented by Rita Gravina, Director of Global Learning, and Erin Mays, Local and Global Experiences Coordinator; The Bishop Strachan School (Canada)Dream StorySCHOOLWIDE GLOBAL EDUCATION EFFORTSEinstein stated, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” George Washington Carver said, “Without vision, there is no hope.” How are we teaching our students to use their imagination and create a vision not only for themselves but for our global society? What if all our students, teachers, and parents were literally on the same page all over the world helping to write history by envisioning the future? “Every Dream Achieved” is a vision statement of our school on the Navajo reservation. We collect the evolving dreams of our k-12 students each year and when they graduate, they will be given their book, their Dream Story, along with their diploma. It will include not only their own dreams, but the dreams of their parents, grandparents, ancestors, teachers, family, and friends. In this presentation, we illustrate how our school has developed the process of helping students to create their own Dream Story.Presented by Robert Mond, Principal, and Sheldon Begay, Traditional Counselor; Rock Point Community School (AZ, USA)

Over the last few years, she has been working on making this a reality and has created an app for chaperones - Chapperone! Chapperone offers communication, logistics and safety tools to enable educators to focus on the learning experience of their students, as opposed to constantly counting heads. In this presentation, Ali will share more about how and why she created Chapperone, discuss the key safety and logistics needs of successful student travel, and demo the app providing insights into incorporating best practices seamlessly into a trip. Ali is also seeking feedback from educators in the eld (YOU!) so this presentation will offer opportunities to help Ali further hone the app.Presented by Ali Iberraken, Teacher, Packer Collegiate Institute (NY, USA) and Founder of ChapperonePedagogical Strategies for Cross-Cultural EducationSCHOOLWIDE GLOBAL EDUCATION EFFORTSThis presentation will introduce a series of pedagogical strategies conducive to develop cross-cultural skills in social sciences. The strategies will be centered in four dimensions: course design, curation of curriculum, experiential learning, and activism. These dimensions will enable students to gain cross-cultural competencies to understand and appreciate different perspectives and worldviews, develop adaptability for an effective interaction with individuals from other cultural backgrounds, and assume an active role as global citizens. Examples of applied pedagogy in AP Human Geography, World History, Latin American History, and Women Studies will be shared with the audience. This talk will provide guidance on replicability in other disciplines.Presented by Laura C. Massa, Teacher & Co-Chair History & Humanities Department, Palmer Trinity School (FL, USA)
