Did you know that North Carolina is home to over 1,200 international companies? This fact highlights the need for preparing students for a global, knowledge-driven economy. In this session, we will explore strategies for equipping students with essential skills like cross-cultural communication, collaboration, and problem-solving. As a participant in the 2022-23 NEA Global Fellowship, a program focused on global education and sustainable development, I will share interdisciplinary SDG lessons, classroom resources, and professional development opportunities for teachers. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with actionable strategies and resources to help your students succeed in today’s interconnected world.
Engage elementary students with activities that can broaden their perspective about the world around them. Discover fun, interdisciplinary games and role-playing activities that explore natural resources (distribution, extraction, and communal management), changes over time of human settlements and how these settlements affect their local and global ecosystems. Stimulate discussion, critical thinking and problem-solving, while building knowledge and skills in geography, economics and civic engagement. The presented activities build skills in communication, problem solving, inquiry social interaction and cooperation, listening, and more.
