Teacher Education Conceptual Framework
Conceptual Framework
Globally responsive educational professionals effectively engage in diverse and interconnected educational systems and apply a social justice lens to address inequities that impact learners. They do this through:
- Learning environments: Fostering equitable and engaging learning experiences for all;
- Curricula: Utilizing, developing, or supporting curriculum that combines robust academic content with local, global, and intercultural perspectives;
- Pedagogical practices: Implementing innovative, inclusive teaching, intervention, and assessment practices that recognize and respect each learner’s unique background;
- Collaboration: Promoting understanding and cooperation with and across learners, families, and other educational professionals; and
- Self-reflection: Reflecting on and adapting their practices to evolving educational needs.
Ultimately, globally responsive educational professionals are dedicated to preparing the next generation of learners to navigate and contribute meaningfully to an interconnected and just world.
