What is Global Education?

A global education is one that incorporates learning about the cultures, geographies, histories, and
current issues of all the world's regions. It emphasizes the interconnectedness and diversity of peoples
and histories. Global education develops students' skills to engage with their global peers and highlights
actions students can take as citizens of the world. It is a lens that can be applied to all disciplines and all
grade levels as well as the broader school community.

Global learning is essential in the 21st century as barriers between nations and people continue to fade.

What can you do?

All educators have a responsibility to create a globally inclusive environment for students. Schools, for
example, can promote a more nuanced understanding of the multiple perspectives held by the world's
people. A global classroom can enable students to connect with other 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. Together, these global learning experiences prepare
students to engage the larger world with greater confidence, thoughtfulness, and empathy.

All students deserve a high-quality global education. Working together with educators and schools,
Primary Source seeks to make this possible.

As the context of globalization, teachers entrust with the important task of global literacy for students.
