California Global Teacher Fellowship
Since 2019, CGEP has been seeking PK-12 educators interested in developing their knowledge, skills, and experiences in global education through a year-long fellowship with like-minded colleagues. The California Global Teacher Fellowship is a program that brings together a cohort of 10-15 teachers from across the state to meet regularly, explore resources and opportunities for global education in their classrooms, schools, and districts, and develop local inquiry projects. Fellows share their perspectives, practices, and ideas for building global competence within and across their disciplines and grade levels. Ultimately, Fellows create professional relationships, generate meaningful and relevant instructional resources, and recognize the value of global education for their own personal and professional growth as well as the social and academic growth of their students. If you are interested in becoming a Fellow, visit this website each Fall to apply (or follow CGEP programs through our monthly newsletter Global Matters).

Summer Learning

2025 Global Teacher Fellows
2024 Global Teacher Fellows
2024 Fellows Summer Convening
This year’s Global Teacher Fellows met at Asilomar June 24-26 for our annual in-person convening. While continuing to build community, this group shared their environmental scans for global and geography education in their classrooms, schools, and districts/regions and discussed actions they can take to provide leadership for global education. They also discussed the book Becoming a Globally Competent Teacher and presented their inquiry project plans and progress. Taking advantage of the cool coastal environment, the group engaged in listening walks, awe walks, walk & talk, iNaturalist explorations, and an evening bonfire (s’mores and all).
