Go Global gives students the perspective they need to remain competitive in a global economy. We are a cutting edge resource for districts seeking to incorporate a global element into their social studies programs. Watch our intro video here.

America's demographics are changing and the economy is becoming more global in nature. A different mindset is required than in the past and its imperative that students are knowledgeable about relevant global issues that will impact their lives.

In the Classroom

Go Global can be used in a variety of ways in order to supplement your existing curriculum. All lessons are standards-based. Lesson plans include standards, objectives, questions, activities and homework.

Teachers can spend the first 10 minutes of each class using the curriculum. This time uses a combination of presenting lessons, class discussion and activities. Teachers can also create their own discussion questions and activities too. Another option is to reserve one day or two half days each week.

The material can also be assigned as homework; questions can be integrated into existing quizzes and tests. Sign up today to experience a curriculum designed for the 21st century.
