The Global Education Collaborative is a community of practice where
people connect and build the professional relationships necessary for
effective collaboration across borders. Via this social network, educators
and organizations from all over the world share conversations, resources,
projects, and initiatives with a strong emphasis on promoting global
awareness, fostering global competency, and inspiring action towards
solving real-world problems. Our ultimate goal is to help prepare students
for a rapidly changing and complex world.

37. Proposal Tips
Read the proposal directions.
You can present individually or with others including
students.
Keep your idea simple and focused on global themes. This is
not a technology conference!
Submit early so you can schedule your session at ideal times.
Once your proposal has been accepted, publicize it through
social media.

38. Participation Tips
Volunteer to moderate sessions. We provide training and it’s a great way
to get to know others.
Be creative with the live and recorded sessions.
Use recorded sessions to stimulate discussion in professional development
events.
Use a projector to play live sessions in the teachers’ lounge.
If you teach college-level students, make sessions required and have
students blog about the event.
