What We’ve Learned…
Creating GPS modules from scratch takes time and careful planning.
Finding ways to infuse globally significant issues into your curriculum and knowing where to find quality resources isn’t always easy.
To Assist Teachers…Two sets of tools…
Global Issues Overviews – provides an overview of a globally significant issue, along with task ideas and resources
Performance Assessment Shells – provides a modular framework with guidance for working with students on a specific type of performance assessment. They include suggested activities, but the shell does not include a set of lesson plans.
