Channel: Actionable Innovations Global
Date: 2022-11-22

Dana Mortenson, the co-founder of World Savvy (https://www.worldsavvy.org/), explored how the larger 'global education' movement needs to evolve to support an inclusive framework all schools can use to create future-ready education. With significant political division and polarization in communities across the U.S. and K–12 schools often the arena where these battles play out, it has never been more urgent to embed global competency into teaching, learning, and culture in systemic ways—for civic engagement, workforce readiness, and global problem-solving. This keynote explored this new landscape, described promising innovative approaches that are propelling this movement forward, and outlined how we can leverage the current legislative environment as a tipping point for this important work.
