“Recognizing the importance of Oklahoma’s international connections, teachers must equip students with greater international knowledge and skills in order to compete in the global economy.”
— Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry
The focus of Oklahoma's Global Education Conference is the infusion of global education in PK-20. Our mission statement clearly defines our purpose:
Vested by our diverse heritage,
we commit ourselves,
as educators, students and ambassadors
to practice global education, citizenship and engagement
for Oklahoma's future.
