Global Education Conference -> Noble's Keynote !

PRESENTATION: Is Global Teacher Collaboration Possible? Not only is it possible--it is a must! Intelligence is equitable throughout the world but the global education divide exists due to a lack of access to information and educational strategies. Through our work, we see the emphasis placed on supporting education in developing regions with the building of schools and the supplying of things and little is done to support teacher professional development. Though ""things"" are desirable, learning can still exist without them but cannot occur without the presence of a motivated, engaging and committed teacher. For us, education is a collaborative effort lasting a lifetime; our learning model is designed to connect global ""best practices"" to those - at the local level - who can build their capacity and, in so doing, change their communities. It is through this approach that we hope to connect teachers and schools for a continued and sustained relationship--enabling teachers and students to grow together through shared experiences and global education. We will discuss how collaboration will create a win-win scenario to support global perspectives and close the education divide and why it is crucial despite the obstacles.
