Teaching the World

The Teaching the World Program is an initiative focused on preparing pre-service and in-service teachers of all disciplines to foster global citizenship. For the past five years, we have hosted the Teaching the World Forum. The conference offers a dynamic setting to share innovative practices, new resources, challenges and successes related to teaching for global competence.

Join the conversation online using the hashtag #RUTeachingtheWorld!

The 2019 Teaching the World Forum will be held on Saturday, March 30, 2019.

Calls for proposals will be available shortly.

The 2019 theme is Local Global Community Voices.

The call for proposals for 2019 is available here. Proposals are due March 1, 2019.

The 2017 Teaching the World Forum focus was Global and Community-Engaged Education.  The day was filled with sessions focused on best practices, examples of globally-focused programs, student work, and more.  Plenary speakers were Thea Abu El-Haj, Associate Professor at Rutgers Graduate School of Education, presenting Home and the World: Teaching to Decenter the Nation, and William Gaudelli, Associate Professor of Social Studies and Education at the Teachers College at Columbia University speaking on Global Citizenship Education: Everyday Transcendence
