I am very excited to announce that our Spring Global Classroom Training on Saturday, February 2, was a great success! We had 47 participants representing 20 countries, 4 continents, and 14 universities. Our ranks of experienced global guides now totals over 200 people, meaning that we’ll have an even better ability to meet the needs of schools and introduce NYC kids to a wide diversity of countries and cultures.
At the workshop, new global guides had the chance to participate in model Global Classroom workshops. Pretending to be elementary and high school students, they experienced the workshop from the perspective of an audience member and observed some awesome examples of workshops, making cranes and tamales, acting out whale legends, and playing Indonesian games along the way. A huge thanks to Shailly, Bhole, Darragh, Iwan, Rita, Philipp, and Sayaka for helping out!
Participants also heard from a panel of NYC teachers whose classrooms have hosted Global Classroom speakers in the past, talked about classroom management skills, and brainstormed ideas for an INTERACTIVE presentation.
We had a lot of fun and we are really excited about all of the energy and enthusiasm that the new global guides will bring to Global Classroom!
