FOR EDUCATORS

How can we develop changemakers (students) who have an awareness of global issues, take on challenges, and develop a creative future?

How do we connect students with STEAM professionals to bridge content and real-world application?

How can we implement STEAM and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in an active and inquiry-based way to address real social issues?

InterEd helps educators do what they do best, even better.

The InterEd program is

a Global STEAM
Program Platform

that focuses on authentic student-centered learning experiences through the lens of global competencies.

Why use the InterEd program?

We are facing the challenge of reimagining our educational system; one that ensures that our students are able to respond to the needs and demands of the current and future global economy.
Here are some key features of the program.

FEATURES

Include the Global Competency Framework and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Focus each unit on a global technology innovator using the skills of STEAM to address a current issue

Extend students' inquiry of the issues by having them identify a challenge to generate and present solutions for using NGSS through a STEAM approach

What's
global competence?

Global competencies are the knowledge, skills, and dispositions used to understand our world and act to make a difference for the issues of our time. When students practice global competencies, they embrace cultural differences and can empathize with multiple perspectives. Globally competent individuals work collaboratively to solve problems, innovate, and recognize the influences individuals and culture have on each other.

In the InterEd program, we adhere to these four competencies (CCSSO, Asia Society).

The four competencies are:

Investigate the World

- Globally competent students are aware, curious, and interested in learning about the world and how it works.

Recognize Perspectives

- Globally competent students recognize that they have a particular perspective and that others may or may not share it.

Communicate Ideas

- Globally competent students can effectively communicate, verbally, and non-verbally, with diverse audiences.

Take Action

- Globally competent students have the skills and knowledge to not just learn about the world, but also to make a difference in the world.

So why global competencies? Because globally competent individuals are lifelong learners who understand critical issues, have an appreciation for cultural differences, an ability to understand and consider multiple perspectives, use critical and comparative thinking skills, and are comfortable with ambiguity and change (World Savvy).

What's
21st Century Learning?

While there are many 21st century skills, the four most common ones are the 4 C’s: critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. The 4 C’s help students develop important cognitive skills and interpersonal skills that transfer across content and tasks and are necessary for success in college, career, and life.

Critical thinking

- The set of skills used to analyze data to form a judgment such as observation, analysis, interpretation, reflection, evaluation, and decision-making.

Creativity

- The ability to generate new ideas or solutions of value. These can be solutions to problems, inventions, or an artistic endeavor.

Communication

- The ability to effectively share one’s own thinking or ideas with others and understand others.

Collaboration

- The complex set of inter- and intra-personal skills used when individuals work together in service of a shared goal. These include self-regulation, relationship building, goal setting, progress monitoring, and feedback.

From the
InterEd
community

The InterEd program provides opportunities for students to authentically connect with a curriculum that is unique because it is globally focused. Students identify problems that they connect with and hope to solve.
InterEd provides ways for teachers to support and challenge students and give feedback to them for growth in their STEM education.

Our goal is to encourage our students to be part of the global community through STEAM education. With InterEd, our students have a chance to make difference at home and around the world.

I love the premise of these lessons and feel they will improve the way students see their capability to positively change the world.
In addition, they become more globally aware as they go through the lessons. I have no doubt this will happen in the future.
