AACTE's Committee on
Global Diversity is proud to host
the University of
Missouri-St Louis, College of Education, recipient
of the
2022 AACTE Best
Practice Award in Support of Global & International Perspectives.
This award, sponsored by AACTE’s Committee on Global
Diversity, recognizes exemplary practice in the intercultural, global,
cross-cultural, and international arenas and is presented each year at AACTE's Annual Meeting.
The College of Education at the University of Missouri-St.
Louis launched a year-long effort to enhance the internationalizing of our
teacher preparation programs. The main objectives were to initiate a
professional learning community centered on globally competent teaching,
integrate global perspectives in their teacher education programs, create and
share globally infused curricula, and strengthen international partnerships.
The project was a comprehensive approach targeting faculty, staff, and
students. In this webinar, faculty & staff from the College of
Education will share four of the initiatives from their year. These four
initiatives serve as examples of how teacher preparation programs can support
internationalization:
- Internationalizing
Teaching and Learning Inquiry Circles
- Teaching Global
Readiness Grand Seminar
- Integrating
Global Readiness in Curriculum Outcomes and Standards
- Doctorate of
Education Partnership with Shenyang Normal University
