Get involved
Click on the links in the sidebar to see what other states are doing. Twenty-five states have grassroots initiatives and/or policy supporting global learning.
A practical way to get started is to gather policy, business, education, and community stakeholders. With stakeholder perspectives and involvement, make a plan for statewide reform.
Tools to help
- Learn more about global competence.
- Use Mapping the Nation’s toolkit to get started.
- Asia Society’s website features several planning and advocacy tools, along with resource lists and model programs.
- Connect with other states’ initiatives for ideas and models.
If the state department of education is taking the lead on a global learning initiative, please email us at the Asia Society and Longview Foundation.
