WHAT IS GLOBAL EDUCATION?
Global education is an educational approach to prepare students for a rapidly interconnected world. The approach is rooted in real world applications to content using a Project Based Learning model. "The heart of global education is enabling young people to participate in shaping a better, shared future for the world."
MY UNITÂ PLAN
Aquaculture in Namasale, Uganda
As part of my Fulbright Fellowship, I created a unit plan asking students to examine the impact of implementing aquaculture on the community of Namasale, Uganda. I choose Namasale as a focus because Lakewood High School has a sister in the community, and I thought this project would be an opportunity for my students to learn more about the students at Global Leaders Day School.
