"Through the Global Education Challenge, we hope to find truly original ideas that can become tangible tools to improve student outcomes across the globe--both inside and outside the classroom. We're building a community of innovators who share our goal, and together we'll discuss ideas for groundbreaking solutions to help transform student learning, foster family engagement, and enhance teacher effectiveness. We'll be giving away $250,000 in cash and prizes to the best ideas. Entries will be accepted from Thursday, May 19 through Friday, July 15th, 2011."

Our country's need for global competence depends on a citizenry that understands and can interact effectively with the world. Connect All Schools envisions that all US young people should have the opportunity to learn with the world and gain 21st Century skills.
