2024 Summer - AFS Global Competence Certificate Program 2023-24

In order to teach the intercultural competencies necessary for students to thrive as engaged citizens in a diverse society and interconnected world, educators need to understand what those competencies are, what they look like in both students and in themselves, and how to best develop educational environments and opportunities to model and teach these competencies.

GEBG is partnering with AFS to offer a Global Competence Certificate Program for educators across grade levels and subject areas. The program includes a combination of AFS-developed asynchronous online coursework as well as synchronous GEBG-facilitated educator dialogues. 

Support the educators in your school to develop and demonstrate the intercultural competencies your global education and DEI commitments ask of them. Participants who complete the program will receive a certificate to accompany the new knowledge, skills, and attitudes developed through the program! 

+ FORMAT: Asynchronous online coursework (10-15 hours) and four synchronous, virtual educator dialogues (offered at various times)

+ COST: $250 per participant, member schools only

+ AUDIENCE: Adults interested in developing their global competence

+ DATES: Ongoing, Summer: June - August
