"I am pairing my gifted students with international students at my school as buddies. They have much to learn from each other but rarely cross paths because our international students are generally relegated to low level classes due to limited English proficiency. Also, all of my students are getting a Passport booklet (for which I am contracting with a graphic designer on Etsy) in which they can earn stamps for various forms of global engagement."

"I am piloting an elective course: Exploring Global perspectives with Personalized learning. It incorporates a lot of the UN’s Sustainable Goals and uses the resources "The World's Largest Lesson."

"I am expanding my Contemporary Issues class from a semester to a full year and from an elective to a core class in our new Community and Global studies Academy. The biggest changes are more time for a action project and more focus on solutions (SDG’s) than the problems. Hopefully we will be collaborating (or at least communicating) with classrooms in Japan, Indonesia and Germany"
