@heunh Helen, interesting article. Like Jessica said, the teacher shortage absolutely makes the 2030 deadline seem unlikely. This is something I have been thinking a lot about- teachers who have to do the job of multiple teachers cannot possibly educate all their children successfully.

This website explains the 4th goal of sustainable development: quality education. It lists the targets of this goal and provides shocking statistics. One of which is the fact that of the 103 million youth that lack literacy skills, 60% are female. https://t.co/rLWhPviwVe #AGD583

In researching Education for All, I found this video. While it is specifically about Education for Sustainable Development, it is made for kids and explains the subject. (I only watched it with the sound off, and the last 30 seconds are a bit odd!) https://t.co/LLTEVauaNJ #AGD583

Just found this article on Finland. It is working on changing its education system to "phenomenon based learning." Students won't learn about subjects distinctly, but in an interdisciplinary manner. Interesting!

@heunh Helen, this book sounds amazing! I like that the author reflects on the differences between what politicians say is going on and what is actually going on. Similar to our reading this week that points out that governments often mis-report data.

@Anna_Hinden Anna, I found this article in My search for resources as well. I liked how it discusses things that may have an effect on achievement and that it was not one sided.

NAFSA provides links to studies done on students experiences with international assessments. It also provides readers wuth a guide to understanding internationalization and the quality of it. #AGD583

@edlydie I loved this video in your HCT presentation! (I enjoyed the whole presentation). I wish that I had a classroom of my own now so I could show it to my students. So powerful!

@Konijn I agree, Dr. Dikkers! I so wish I was going to the Netherlands this summer. It would be so valuable as a future educator.

@KevWatchedAFilm Unfortunately, our states funding is probably a big deterrent for beginning global engagement in schools. People may view it as important, but don't feel that it is worth spending money on. Or they may feel that the small amount of global engagement in their region is enough.

Inevitably, some of our students will need to engage in business or other interactions with these countries. It would be worthwhile for them to learn a bit about their languages and cultures. #AGD583

According to the NC Blueprint for Global Engagement, Japan and Saudi Arabia are among our state's top exports. My question is, should we be spending some of our funding for Chinese programs on similar programs for these countries? #AGD583
