Teaching is a Work of Heart: Integrating a Global Lens is a free 3-day institute to support K-12 educators in their first-to-fifth year of teaching. Beginning at the LA Plaza Museum in downtown LA, participants will raise their awareness about the role of community in co-creating with students learning environments that recognize students' funds of knowledge and lived experiences; all of which impact the classroom. The remaining 2 days will provide participants with the knowledge, skills, and tools to intentionally focus on global competence development as a way to support the academic, social, and emotional growth of all students. Register before June 6th at https://tinyurl.com/NewTchr2025
