Oklahoma Global Education

Logo: GEC, Global Education Conference.
“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

 


""WHAT'S NEW? The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, in collaboration with the State Department of Education, will host the Oklahoma International Education Summit in September 2010. The summit’s focus is building global competence in schools. The summit will be a working series of sessions dealing with issues on leadership, teacher/leader preparation and professional development, and curriculum and instruction in the global age. Educators and other stakeholders who support international education will be invited to participate in the summit’s events. Recommendations for furthering global competence in Oklahoma’s schools will be disseminated to various statewide stakeholders after the summit and posted on the SDE website.

Please contact the Boren Awards staff at boren@iie.org or 800.618.NSEP with any questions.


The focus of global education is the relationship of the world's cultures and systems and the connections of human beings and their common fate, regardless of the national boundaries within which they live.

Our diverse Oklahoma education heritage has been forged by challenges and a pioneering spirit. From one-room schoolhouses to our modern classrooms that are some of the nation's most technologically advanced, Oklahoma educators always look beyond the horizon.

Our learners rely on digitized formats to access information and participate in globalized commerce. There is a whole new world to learn about – one in which we are more acutely aware and engaged. As educators and learners, we are also ambassadors who manifest the intent of our schooling systems and share fundamental traits of our communities by providing our students with wider and deeper international knowledge.
