SUMMARY:DEADLINE - Summer Institute for Global Educators 2024: Educating for Global Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Summer Institute offers a free\, week-long professional development opportunity with additional stipends for K-12 educators. The institute combines joint sessions with self-selected tracks that balance interactive activities with time for individual research while prioritizing support for the design of high-quality curricular materials. Tracks 1 and 3 below require individual applications\, while Track 2 requires a working group (of 2-4 teachers) application. All sessions will be held virtually. \nGlobal conflicts\, climate change\, and unequal development challenge both societal and personal resilience by causing displacement\, restricting resources\, and counteracting efforts for a renewable world. Whether in urban or rural areas\, people across the world grapple with creating sustainable livelihoods\, ecosystems\, social infrastructures\, and economies. If resilience can be defined as the competence to reduce precarity during a crisis and build a more thriving society after\, how can we best encourage students to learn about and become agents for global resilience? \nTracks Offered: \n“Building Resilience in the Classroom”\nAcknowledging the various challenges that educators and their students face today\, this track will introduce content and strategies to empower participants with helpful tools to better engage and help their students. From understanding the “new normal” of remote instruction and learning\, to existential threats to society such as climate change\, to the rapidly changing EdTech landscape with the recent acceleration of AI tools\, sessions will focus on growth mindset strategies\, critical thinking\, and problem-solving skills\, and help to develop a global perspective on mental health and well-being. \nInterdisciplinary Global Educators Working Group (IGE)\nEducators will work collaboratively to draw on the expertise of colleagues at their schools and will model collaborative learning for their students by producing a deliverable in the form of a globalized unit\, lesson\, or module. Examples of proposed group projects could include Science and French language teachers teaming up to offer a lesson on global warming in the Francophone world; or Art\, English\, and Social Studies teachers collaboratively developing a unit on responses to the global refugee crisis in art and literature. Apply as a team of 2-4 teachers from different subject areas from the same school. \n“Teaching Global Conflicts”\nThis track fosters an understanding of conflicts and peace-building through education. Sessions will illustrate the critical role of education in addressing and mitigating global conflicts\, with a specific emphasis on the unique challenges and opportunities presented by conflicts across various world regions.  Educators will delve into strategies for promoting peace\, understanding\, and reconciliation through educational initiatives. Educators will be empowered to effectively navigate sensitive topics\, engage students in meaningful discussions\, and cultivate a generation of global citizens committed to peace-building in societies and beyond.
