GEP - School Partnerships

World Savvy forms partnerships with schools and works with educators - of any discipline - to help integrate global issues into curriculum. In our partner schools, we work one on one with a cohort of select teachers to provide resources and create lessons that align to the state standards and that fit seamlessly into what you already teach. In addition, we provide resources and staff development opportunities across the school, and support for creating connections between the school and the community, and developing real world learning experiences for students.
