Global Education & Partnerships

The NCDPI Global Education Steering Committee has opportunities for students, educators, schools, and districts, including the ones below, as well as more details posted on their Global Education Recognitions and International Agreements page.

Global Educator Digital Badge (GEDB)

The Global Educator Digital Badge (GEDB) process increases educators' awareness and implementation of global competence. It also allows educators to receive credit for what is already being done in schools and classrooms and for professional learning experiences.

To earn the GEDB, educators complete micro-credentials, which address six Professional Teaching Standards related to Global Education, collect artifacts/evidence for each Global Education Competency, and submit a final portfolio in the Global Educator Micro-Credentials and Digital Badge Canvas Site. All educators are welcome to pursue the GEDB, including teachers (in-service and pre-service), instructional support personnel, and administrators at the building or central office level.

School & Teacher Partnerships with France

K-12 teachers in any subject can be matched with a colleague and school in France. Please see the 20-minute Overview of School Partnerships video and/or the slides as a PDF with information about submitting an application.

If you have questions or feedback about this Canvas hub,
please contact Dr. Ann Marie Gunter, NCDPI K-12 World Languages Consultant.
