Welcome to Global Concerns Classroom Educator Resources!
In order to be active global citizens in an increasingly interdependent world, young people must be well-informed about international issues. Global Concerns Classroom works directly with educators to “globalize” school curricula through a broad spectrum of classroom and extracurricular activities.
Our materials are designed to be adaptable for use in your classroom to meet the specific needs of your students, curricula, and subject area. Although educators across the country have implemented the materials across the curriculum, the materials are particularly relevant to national curriculum standards in the content areas of social studies, science, and English. Additionally, we encourage educators to use our materials in extra-curricular activities and non-traditional learning environments.

Ideas for Student Projects with Global Themes
There are many ways to implement GCC materials into your classroom curricula. The materials can be integrated into classes across the curriculum. We encourage you to use and adapt our materials to meet the specific interests and needs of your students.

The materials and activities that are part of GCC are a collaborative effort; their success and quality depends on feedback from educators and students. We would love to hear what you think about our work.
