A Fulbright project on how schools in the Philippines support multilingual learners, and what U.S. educators can learn from a system that approaches the work differently.
Today's students must be prepared to live in their own communities and to engage thoughtfully with people, cultures, and challenges across the globe. Global educators build a skill set in which students develop critical thinking, consider multiple perspectives, communicate across linguistic and cultural barriers, and take informed action on local and global levels.
As the United States approaches its 250th birthday, global education matters more, not less. The milestone is a chance to reflect on national identity and to rethink what it means to take part in a global society. Programs like Fulbright build the kind of exchange and mutual understanding that democracy depends on, and they prepare the next generation to work across borders.
Three entry points, depending on whether you came for the resources, the projects, or the field notes.
Use it as a guide to bringing global education into your classroom,
and as a record of what teaching abroad actually looks like.
