Island Visions: Local to Global Connections


Join this virtual workshop for teachers interested in taking a global approach to investigating the Channel Islands. Explore strategies for taking multiple perspectives and communicating ideas through multiple modalities across disciplines in the K-12 classroom. Learn about the book Island Visions, a collection of stories, articles and illustrations from the point of view of the first people, fishermen, scientists, rangers and others whose lives are deeply connected to the Channel Islands. This program is presented by the California Global Education Project at UCSB. Teams of 2 or more 3rd-8th grade teachers are encouraged to apply. Participation in all 3 sessions is required. This is a pilot program for a select group of teachers interested in connecting their grade level curriculum to topics related to the Channel Islands. 

Attendees will:

  • Connect with the authors and other guest speakers

  • Develop lessons and activities to support global competence

  • Exchange ideas and practices with other teachers in the region

  • Receive free materials and books and share place based resources

  • Be eligible for a $200 stipend
