         The true voyage of discovery lies not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes   Marcel Proust

We live in a complex and interconnected world. What do our students need to fully participate? To be able to ask significant questions, identify issues, and investigate multiple perspectives? To construct an understanding of other cultures, their influences and interactions? To develop an argument after analyzing, integrating and synthesizing evidence from multiple sources; and then being able to draw a defensible conclusion? To show empathy for others and to celebrate our common humanity?

 Participants in the Teachers for a Global Classroom (TGC), a program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State, researched these questions together and then traveled throughout the world looking for answers. 



One thing became clear: there is value in viewing the world with global eyes, eyes that welcome collaboration and connection with other cultures. Eyes that see in new and exciting ways. Eyes that can imagine the possibilities.
