Schools can connect with 375+ schools around the world through the GEBG listserv and numerous events. Global directors and administrators regularly communicate about curricular initiatives, student collaborations, program planning and assessment, risk management, school and travel policies, partner school connections and a host of other needs. Member school educators share models and ask questions in a community of peers. See a list of current member schools here.
GEBG collects data and makes it available to member schools in formats that are usable for decision making and highlight ways schools can benchmark in their peer group. GEBG uses benchmarking data to generate tools, for example our Return to Travel Programming Self-Assessment Tool, that schools can use in decision making and program design.
Member schools gain access to expert services for faculty and administration in developing global competency-based curriculum and global program management through deeply discounted professional learning events, workshops, PLCs, micro and summer courses, and custom services such as facilitated strategic planning for global education or risk management training for overnight program leaders. Member schools can engage in an assessment process based on a set of standards related to a school’s global education vision, teaching and learning, programming, and risk management systems through our Evaluation or Endorsement initiative.
Ranging from virtual exchanges and dialogues on current global issues with groups of students and faculty from schools around the world to collaborative global experiential programs focused on global issues of significance.
The GEBG Resource Library provides access to sample policies and forms, curriculum and assessment examples, strategic plans, a plethora of useful information including GEBG model practices, research and tools, and an extensive and frequently updated collection of materials and resources shared by GEBG member schools.
GEBG offers a variety of custom programming support to both member and non-member schools. These include risk management support, curriculum development, and strategic planning. Please fill out this interest form and a GEBG representative will be in touch regarding further details.
