International Education Week 2020
NCDPI's Second Annual Celebration
Join us for International Education Week on November 16- 20th! International Education Week (IEW) is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and the U.S. Department of State is part of the effort to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchange experiences.
- International Week offers the chance to:
- Expand awareness of and interest in global issues and global learning
- Collaborate with and learn from international student groups
- Gain a new cultural understanding
- Sample a small part of life beyond the shores of America
A variety of IEW activities will be planned by NCDPI to promote International Education Week in North Carolina. Stay tuned for more information as IEW approaches! #IEW2020
NC IEW Student Showcase
The NC IEW Student Showcase provides students an opportunity to share their interest and understanding of global issues, global learning, and cultural awareness through various projects, presentations, or work samples. The COVID-19 Pandemic is giving us an opportunity to rethink and redesign education and NCDPI wants to acknowledge all the ways our NC students and educators are studying global education in the digital age. Our student showcase will be completely virtual.
Below are links to three different Flipgrid boards for educators to submit student samples in the following categories (video tutorial):
If your Public School Unit does not allow for the use of Flipgrid, you can submit an example for the showcase by using the free audio tool Vocaroo to record a student narration of work or interview about Global Education. Complete this Google Form to submit an alternative submission.
Student Showcase Submission Guidelines:
- All submissions are due by Monday, November 9th
- All submissions will be reviewed by NCDPI staff to ensure no publicly identifiable information is submitted and all submissions are under three minutes long.
- Educators are responsible for ensuring that all submissions have appropriate media release forms to be shared publicly and only first names are used/visible in all submissions.
- Submissions will be individually and collectively highlighted via social media during IEW - please follow the @NCGlobalEd Twitter account, like the NC Global Education Facebook page, and use the hashtags #IEW20, #NCIEW, and #NCisGlobal.
