Girl Rising provides teachers with a unique opportunity to introduce students to the issues surrounding girls' education in the developing world, and it's transformational power. To help teachers learn about the girls' education movement and effectively share the information with their students, the Pearson Foundation has created this standards-aligned curriculum.

"This is one of the most comprehensive and accessible guides for academic and professional practitioners who are seeking ways of embedding sustainability into the curriculum and teaching and learning in higher education. It's both fit for purpose and fit for the future."

In partnership with Elluminate, we are in the process of organizing a free virtual online global education conference to hopefully take place November 15 - 19, 2010. Our conference strands are *tentatively* set to include: Teachers (professional development, training, etc.), Students (student-led initiatives, exchange programs, service learning etc.), Pedagogy (curriculum, digital citizenship, assessment etc. ), Policy and Leadership (exemplary schools, ICT infrastructure, government initiatives etc.), and Change (peace and social justice, equity, etc.).

Free PDF documents from the World Affairs Council (Seattle) containing loads of links for teachers; packets available on many different global issues and regions/countries; content is mainly for grades 6-12, but also may be useful for elementary classrooms (especially 2010-11 packets) as well as college level.

This resource includes teacher-authors' individual or group units, modified by curriculum inquiry and peer review, and provides many links to resources.
