#barbersclass@barbersclass#globaledchat
Ken from Western Oregon Univ & Center for Geography Educ in Oregon. No child ballet tonight, but have to go to daughter's school performance this evening so only stopping by for about 20 min #globaledchat
Hi! I am a Kent State student in Early Childhood Education. I am not part of any organization that demonstrates the "partners in practice" #globaledchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
Hi everyone, my name is Hannah Morrison and I am a student at Kent State University! I am not really sure who I would consider my 3 partners in practice, but I am eager to learn in discussion through this chat! #globaledchat
Q1: #SDG17 challenges us to strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize global partnerships for sustainable development. What types of partnerships are available to educators? #globaledchat
A1: Educators have many potential partners to tap, from parents to community organizations to non-profits to university Title VI centers. Not to mention local businesses. #globaledchat#TeachSDGs
I absolutely agree with this. Although localized action and individual responsibility is important, we as individuals in a democracy need to work to ensure we have policy frameworks in place that support all 17 #SDGs: #GlobalEdChat#TeachSDGs

Hello! Phil Wagener, Education Technology Specialist with @ksuiteach. Different take on the question, but partners that have ignited my passion for systemic change would be @elemenous, @SkypeAmy, and @sethbrady9. #Globaledchat
A1: #globaledchat@JenWilliamsEdu We underestimate the willingness of local & global communities to work w students. Senior citizen experts, parent professionals, local NGOs, other schools/classrooms, global issues network clubs, all of us here have the ability to connect.
A1: I am not really sure of the resources available for educators, but I would be interested to research more about resources that were found in my community specifically! #globaledchat
A1: I believe it is important for educators to form close partnerships with both other professionals and parents as well! They know their child best and you are able to gain more information in order to set them up fo adult success! #barber@barbersclass#globaledchat
A1 there are organizations like @EmpaticoOrg that provide the platform and resources to build & male relationships globally, also @MicrosoftEDU is another way to connect w/ the 🌎 & work together, & individuals like @zelfstudie who open a passport by global projects #GlobaledChat
A1: I am not sure what resources are available in my comminity but I would be interested in finding out researcher to better help educators and organizations that support educators. #globaledchat

A2 Embrace the unknown of cross-cultural partnerships. It's enriching! Be ready for initial ups & downs. Build in time for critical reflection w/ your classroom students about the partnership throughout the time. That's where a lot of growth takes place #globaledchat
A2 if you never take the first step you will never take the second step, just jump in, go to @MicrosoftEDU and take the @SkypeClassroom course & connect w/ a class or an expert somewhere on the 🌏you won’t regret it, ask a colleague who does it to let you visit #GlobaledChat
#globaledchat A2 Check our the @GooglePlus community Connected Classrooms Workshop. Great place to connect with Ts and classes from all over the the US & World. Great opportunity to share ideas and learn about each other’s culture.
Partnerships can come in many forms - from fellowships for educators (including opps to travel) to beta and pilot projects that benefit students. Partnerships with community organizations, government agencies, businesses, and higher ed = learning oops for K12 Ss. #globaledchat
A2 Have to start somewhere and reach out through the community, PLN, twitter chats, and looking at @TeachSDGs#SDGs create opps to learn with the Ss and explore what is out there #globaledchat
Join professional learning communities online. Seek out training opportunities that foster connections like National Geographic Educator certification. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask questions. #GlobalEdChat
A2: I am one of these new educators, but I would say get to know people and organizations in your community. Learning and change does not just happen within the walls of the school! #globaledchat
A2: I feel as though it is so important to communicate if you're part of a partnership and work together to collaborate on the best way to run your classroom. #globaledchat
Hello @fmargret! We just finished our Global isssues advocacy posters in 5th gr and I am working on a new lesson around sea smog... Using @jackjohnson as inspiration! #globaledchat How about you?
A2:Establish shared norms and multiple touch points about long-term connections to ensure you stay connected. Wish we had done it before we lost touch with amazing teachers over time. #globaledchat

As long as government policy is of the people, by the people, and for the people, the #SDGs shall be a priority and the people will not “perish from the earth.”
Just a thought...
#GlobalEdChat#TeachSDGs
Virtual Field trips?? Please share more... :) Google hangout has made it possible for us to visit Peruvian Artist Pablo Seminario's studio! #globaledchat

Q3: The 5 Targets for #SDG17 include Finance, Technology, Capacity-Building, Trade, and Systemic Issues. Have you found ways to integrate these topics into your classroom/program? How? #globaledchat
A2: just talking & being open to everyone. I met the amazing @ProfeEdTech through her #earthday chat last year. I met the wonderful @eedowd27 through the phenomenal @kmurfitt1. Listening to others & trying to work to find success only builds positive partnerships. #GlobaledChat
Hi #globaledchat! Joining a little late. From northern NJ. My partners in practice include all of my amazing colleagues at @iEARNUSA , my international and U.S.-based @NSLIY coalition, and the iEARN educators around the world working on global #pbl and #SDGs.
Q2) Resist the fear of rejection and failure. Companies are looking for educators that showcase passion, perseverance, and pride in what they do. #globaledchat
#Globaledchat Hi, everyone! Amy from New York...@SkypeClassroom works magic from country to country. It's a terrific resource for making connections around the world on many topics under the sun! #TeachSDGs
Q3: The 5 Targets for #SDG17 include Finance, Technology, Capacity-Building, Trade, and Systemic Issues. Have you found ways to integrate these topics into your classroom/program? How? #globaledchat
A2: #GlobalEdChat Empower your students to find a calling linked to a passion. Rarely will a community say no to a student who is making positive contributions or motivated to impact a community. Side note: Get Ss honed in on targets for more poignant action and partnerships.
Q2) Resist the fear of rejection and failure. Companies are looking for educators that showcase passion, perseverance, and pride in what they do. #globaledchat
#globaledchat A2 We do “cultural conversations.” This year we have visited with a class in Argentina 🇦🇷 to discuss gender inequality and with a class in Monterrey Mexico 🇲🇽 to discuss current issues affecting both countries. Great opportunity for our students to learn/share.
Exactly! And you never know what you can do with your Ss if you never try. Give yourself time to debrief after with your class; talk about what went well, what you could do better. I do this even with my 1st graders. #globaledchat
A3 Yes, with #pbl the students are choosing their focus area, learning about the #sdgs and exploring more based on interest in these topics, has been great #globaledchat
A2: Start with a passion area. It takes time to build partnerships and find the resources that best fit your curriculum needs. If it is an area of passion, you will be more likely to stay the course. #Globaledchat
A2 - Been thinking a lot about partnerships and how to build and maintain them. You have to be intentional. To "build" and "maintain" are action-oriented rather than passive. Building an intentional community takes work, patience, & persistence. #globaledchat
I am not too sure how to integrate these topics into a classroom. As a student I would think to have multiple opportunities within the classroom at all times. #barbersclass@barbersclass#globaledchat
I have heard from a handful of teachers over the year that they have found it tricky to introduce #SDG17 to their students. It has quickly become a treasured goal for me (not to play favorites ha!)! #globaledchat Interested in responses to this Q as well!
Partner in practice #2 Lindblad Expeditions, working with National Geographic to send educators on expeditions to bring the world to our classrooms! #GlobalEdChat
A3 by participating in global projects like #climateactionP & #SDGInnoPro I have focused on specific SDG’s and my S’s now use the terminology throughout the curriculum I happen to have 17 S’s this year so each one focused on 1 SDG & became experts & then taught it #GlobaledChat
A3: As of now I am in a class that is Ed Tech so recently I been introduced to many programs using technology to help better my future classroom and help assist different kinds of learners. #globaledchat
A3 I’m thinking passion projects! Ss maybe thinking about these topics or something around these topics which could lead nicely into a passion project. Something they want to learn more about. #GlobalEdChat
A3: #globaledchat Technology for sure within our https://t.co/OTEZizSVlB program. NPR as a model empowers Ss. Systems thinking:Causal diagramming, iceberg models, teaching flow charts & hierarchical structures, root cause analysis -Ss can handle it & love seeking causes & effects
A3: I think Finance is a great entry point for considering #SDG17. I'd love to hear of any great resources/lesson plans on global currency! #globaledchat#TeachSDGs
Q4: What partnerships have you developed within your school community and/or your global community that demonstrate a focus on coordination, coherence, and cooperation? #globaledchat
Have you seen projects on governance and budgets? Comparing government budgets on certain topics (education) perhaps? This SDG is definitely more difficult to wrap one's head about... #globaledchat

#GlobalEdChat A3 We have used technology to connect our Ss this year to Russia, Canada, France, Sweden, Denmark, Mexico, Israel, Argentina and Spain this year. Important to have our Ss see the world and learn directly from others.
Q4: What partnerships have you developed within your school community and/or your global community that demonstrate a focus on coordination, coherence, and cooperation? #globaledchat
A3 - I don't use this curriculum in my program, but I love the Barefoot MBA as a resource for capacity building that is specific to finance & trade, "a basic business curriculum for rural villagers" https://t.co/b5HRMBIgZn#globaledchat
For 15 years I’ve had 25 students every year I just moved to a new district with smaller class sizes. It’s phenomenal how much I can get done and how much more we can achieve. #ClassSizeMatters
Q4:I have been a part of 4-H for many years and I am currently an advisor and we do numerous community service events! Go 4-H! #barbersclass@barbersclass#globaledchat

I am proud to be a 2015 @NEAFoundation global learning fellow... they do great work in supporting educators in this work and providing us avenues to share our experiences. #globaledchat
Q5: Target 17.6 calls for us to focus on knowledge sharing and cooperation for access to science, technology, and innovation. How are educators leading the way in the sharing of knowledge and information in these areas? #globaledchat
A3: We explored passion projects through online tours of art museums. Kids observed & predictd artist’s passions. Ss made own pieces & explored in city where their passions could be located. Created passion project ideas & teachers used for project inspirations. #globaledchat
#globaledchat A4 We have been able to from friendships with many icons of history who have shared their stories with our students. Being able to ask questions and interact makes learning history relevant for our Ss. Here are a few of our speakers.
A4: This year I have had the great pleasure of learning more about the great work of @speechanddebate! I think a tremendous partner for educators! #globaledchat
Hey, Friend! So true! Technology helps teachers feel more connected and more capable too, as they find #PLN connections who share their passions. #globaledchat
Thanks @GlobalReady !! I will have to check this out. My school is beginning a pilot program from our system... I am going to be helping lead this program at our school. Any resources I can share with our team would be great! #globaledchat

A5: Educators are leading the way to change by not accepting that others should decide what they need to learn. Instead they are forming their own learning networks and doing what they do best—teaching and learning from one another. #GlobaledChat
A4: I'm also loving the work I'm seeing from @MsWebbsClass1 and her students with a community organization through a @participate action-driven learning experience. #globaledchat
very simplistic idea- I use Euros (plastic of course) to pay my Ss for classroom jobs they apply & get hired. They also have to pay Euros for different rewards & items. Our focus is Europe so I’m teaching financially responsibility while sharing global currency. #globaledchat
A3: I think Finance is a great entry point for considering #SDG17. I'd love to hear of any great resources/lesson plans on global currency! #globaledchat#TeachSDGs
A5 After jumping into the global climate action project I was selected as a Global Learning Ambassador w/ 21 other amazing T’s , now I’m in a #SDGInnoPro aimed to use innovation to address the SDG’s, we use @MicrosoftEDU One Note & other products #globaledchat
A5: #globaledchat@inspirecitizen2 and I are taking a teaching sabbatical for the next few years to share, learn, and connect with #TeachSDG advocates, NGOs, and schools worldwide to help shift mindsets in schools & spark purpose in teachers & students. We will come to you!
Brand new Illinois Global Scholar Certificate requires students to engage and receive feedback from at least two “on the ground experts” familiar with the global issue they are investigating. It has been transformational to Ss in so many ways! #globaledchat
Q6: What resources are available for educators looking to obtain new knowledge, access reliable data, and amplify messages of social good and partnership in regard to sustainability and the SDGs? #globaledchat
My superintendent @Glennr1809 really baptized our district into design thinking and it’s been transformative, empathy+project based learning =change the 🌎 #GlobalEdChat
A6: I'm always looking to amplify messages of social good and #global partnerships through #globaledchat and the Global Learning blog - I'm always looking for stories to feature. Let me know if you are interested in sharing! https://t.co/w3B3KTN3bK#TeachSDGs

Q6: What resources are available for educators looking to obtain new knowledge, access reliable data, and amplify messages of social good and partnership in regard to sustainability and the SDGs? #globaledchat
A6 This past year students began with database research tools (JSTOR a fav) and discovered what it was like to contact professors, journalists, and others who in turn offered personal testimony and treasure troves of research not easily accessible....#globaledchat
A6: ...one of highlights was student who entered class one day geeking out about being on a group chat with 4 Australian professors who study human rights in China! So fun. #globaledchat
I'm skipping the first parts of the Q, but Ts need to amplify the message of social good any way they can - on Twitter, in conversations, by calling local media & letting the world know that our Ss are connected to the world & working to make it better! #globaledchat
Q6: What resources are available for educators looking to obtain new knowledge, access reliable data, and amplify messages of social good and partnership in regard to sustainability and the SDGs? #globaledchat
