Global Education Unit Plans
At the onset, implementation of global education characteristics and standards sounds daunting, but in reality, the task often requires just a few modifications of your original lessons. This page provides direct links to a Google Drive account that collects global education unit plans created by the 2013-2014 Teachers for Global Classrooms Fellows. Additionally, you will also find a brief assessment and modification of 5 Social Studies standards at the secondary level to demonstrate that it is similar modifications, and not a reinvention of the wheel, that is necessary to embrace global education on a regular basis.
