As an organization that gathers model practices in order to establish benchmarks in support of schools that want to improve their global education programs, the GEBG, over the course of many years, developed six areas of focus to guide members in their work:
Included within each of the above categories are 3-7 benchmarks by which schools can assess their own practices in relation to those of peer schools and to set goals for program development over time. The GEBG currently uses these to guide professional learning opportunities, school evaluations and endorsements, and our own development as an organization.
We have developed a publication that intends to provide GEBG Members with a version of these standards and practices that includes further explanation of what the standards mean, provides examples of what they look like in member schools, and includes guidance on how school leaders might self-assess and begin to develop and improve their own programming.
We hope that An Annotated Guide to Global Education: Standards and Practices from the GEBG Community will become an essential resource for all leaders of global education programs and a testament to the groundbreaking and inspiring work of the GEBG Community.
As an organization dedicated to providing professional learning and resources to member schools at far below market rate, we are proud to be selling this resource for $35 plus the cost of shipping.

This global curriculum design toolkit reflects GEBG’s mission to support member schools to bring global perspectives, global issues, and global competencies into their teaching and learning to empower their students as global citizens.
