Engaged Learning to Lead for Change

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) and UW-Madison's Wisconsin International Resource Consortium (WIRC) invite Wisconsin Global Scholars Program students and teachers to join us virtually on Saturday, April 13 for shared learning and planning for action.

A full agenda is coming soon and will be updated on the event site.

Global Scholars Program implementation and growth goals will be the focus of the morning agenda. The Stevens Initiative will facilitate a session on planning, or expanding, global learning opportunities through virtual exchange. Coordinators will be invited to share practices, resources, and ideas to support the development of global competence within your school communities. Discussion will include language programming, career-connections, virtual exchange, and partnerships for global learning. Participating educators will receive a text to support leadership development for global learning. Join us for a day of collaboration, inspiration, and learning!

Global learning often leads to global engagement and service.
