GEP - Global Issues Workshops

World Savvy provides two kinds of workshop opportunities for educators to continue to develop their knowledge and awareness of global issues and learn about new resources and lessons that can be used in their classrooms. The first is a series of workshops - open to any educator - on a variety of relevant community and international topics, and the second opportunity is to bring World Savvy to your school to lead a staff development workshop

Teacher Workshops:

Each academic year World Savvy hosts a series of workshops for educators on global issues. We bring in speakers with the background and expertise necessary to address the given issue, followed by a Q&A session. Then we provide a space for educators to share resources and ideas about how to address these issues in the classroom, and we provide curriculum and resources for teachers to take back to their classrooms.

Registration for these workshops is free but limited, and lunch or dinner as well as complementary curriculum examples will be provided to every participant. The workshops are open to any educator - classroom teacher or other youth educator.

Benefits:

• Gain knowledge about important and relevant international issues
• Hear distinguished speakers share academic insights and personal stories, and answer your questions
• Network with other teachers interested in bringing these issues into the classroom
• Receive FREE curriculum and resources to incorporate each topic into your lesson plans across disciplines
• Free lunch or dinner during the workshop

Staff Development Workshops:

World Savvy also provides in-service and staff development workshops in schools, youth development organizations, and other educational organizations.

These workshops provide staff with up-to-date information on contemporary global issues, how to connect global issues to state standards, as well as providing participants with sample curriculum ideas and resources for additional information.

Workshops can be from one hour to several hours long, depending upon the needs of the audience. Workshops can also be adapted to fit the needs of an individual group, and fees will depend upon the length of the workshop and adaptations needed.
