Mission

Mission Statement 

​

All educators have a responsibility to create an inclusive, equitable, encouraging, safe, and welcoming environment for students that promotes a culturally responsive pedagogy. For example, schools can encourage a more nuanced understanding of the multiple perspectives held by different people across the world. A global classroom can enable students to connect with others and share ideas and cultures as they navigate and evaluate a variety of information. Teachers of all disciplines can create meaningful learning opportunities that explore cross-cultural perspectives, draw from international examples, and encourage analytical thinking about global issues and injustice. Together, these global learning experiences prepare us to engage the larger world with greater confidence, thoughtfulness, and empathy.
