About GLOBAL SCHOLARS
This is the 9th year that 6th graders in our school are participating in the GLOBAL SCHOLARS 's program.
Each year, Global Scholars classrooms participate in an original, project-based curriculum focused on a single global challenge. Each year’s topic is interdisciplinary and has observable impacts on daily life around the world, such as clean water, environmental sustainability, or the world food supply.
Throughout five units of study, students complete project-based assignments to observe how this challenge plays out in their own cities, then exchange observations with international peers in e-classroom discussion boards. The discussion board posts and replies provide a unique primary source through which students gain a global perspective on worldwide impacts and solutions.
Each curriculum unit requires students to apply different digital tools to research, create, and present original work, providing frequent opportunities for hands-on practice. From video editing to 3D design, students are using technology for a purpose— to actively learn and share ideas with one another.
We are really excited to share with all you our work!!
