Global Education Team (GET)

The Global Education Team (GET) is an ad-hoc committee that will support the development of our core competencies in the curriculum, particularly ones that prepare students for an increasingly interconnected world. The core competencies are summarized as follows: Topeka Collegiate Students become life-long learners, leaders, humanitarians, innovators, technologists, critical thinkers, collaborators, communicators, and citizens of the world. These competencies support the mission of the school, "to prepare students for advanced education, successful careers, and responsible citizenship through a commitment to academic excellence and humanitarian values." The committee will define global education, identify where it occurs in the existing curriculum, research best practices in global education at preK-8 schools nationally and internationally, find resources to share with teachers to supplement the existing curriculum, and work with the Curriculum Committee to deepen and broaden global education in the curriculum.
