Our+Approach

Our workshops are based on face-to-face exchanges with international university students and visiting Fulbright scholars (“Global Guides”), who share their experiences through interactive presentations. //Global Classroom// educators work directly with program partners, classroom teachers, and afterschool coordinators to tailor our curriculum to schools’ specific needs and interests.

(1) **Planning.** Partners choose a specific program and work with One To World staff to develop effective strategies for incorporating workshop content into the school’s existing curriculum.

(2) I**mplementation**. //Global Classroom// programs include:
 * Global Guide Presentations – interactive workshops on a specific culture and theme led by a trained international university student or Fulbright scholar (Global Guide) and supported by a //Global Classroom// educator.
 * Project Days – workshops led by a //Global Classroom// educator introduce various digital media platforms and activities to help students document and reflect on their experiences.
 * Final Project – the program culminates in a student-led project in written, oral, or visual format.

(3) **Assessment**. //Global Classroom// implements a comprehensive assessment strategy aligned with Common Core State Standards and Asia Society/EdStep’s Global Competence Matrix to evaluate student achievement and program effectiveness. These quantitative and qualitative measures include surveys, interviews, participant observations, weekly writing reflections and final project assessment.
