This site is intended to provide resources and information about how to globalize secondary school education across academic disciplines

 

Hello, my name is Laura Rubin and I am a History and Social Studies teacher at a small public school in New York City. In the 2013-2014 school year, I had the pleasure of becoming a fellow with the IREX Teachers for Global Classrooms Program*. Over the course of the year, fellows took part in an eight week online course on globalizing education during which we explored and experimented with the many ways this can be done. We then travelled to Washington D.C. for a conference, and finally took part in a two to three week international travel program in the summer of 2014. This site represents a compilation of what I learned as a TGC Fellow, and the resources I discovered along the way. I hope you find this to be a useful resource.
