iEARN-USA’s Director of Global Education and Outreach Connie Rensink recently published an article in Childhood Educational International magazine. In the article, Connie emphasizes the importance of global competence for youth today and describes how iEARN-USA’s projects, programs, and professional development and training aim to promote essential skills of global competencies for students around the world.
She writes:
“As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, our education systems must prepare students with the skills and knowledge to be able to thrive in a global economy and society. Towards this end, teachers play a key role in supporting students to develop as global citizens who bridge cultural divides, understand sustainable development issues, and act as changemakers in their communities. iEARN-USA connects an international community of K-12 educators and youth to collaborate and learn together on projects designed to make a difference in the world.”
