Student Showcase
During the month of November, we invite you to submit student work and voices as part of North Carolina’s celebration of International Education Week.
International Education Week (IEW) is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. International Education Week offers the chance to expand awareness of and interest in global education, and to gain a new cultural understanding by sampling a small part of life beyond the shores of America. A variety of IEW activities are being planned by NCDPI to promote International Education Week in North Carolina during the week of Nov. 13-18, 2022.
The NCDPI IEW Student Showcase is a great way for students to demonstrate their global competency! It provides them an opportunity to share their interest and understanding of global issues, global learning, and cultural awareness through various projects, presentations, or work samples.
How to involve and engage students:
This week, to kick off International Education Week, start conversations with students about their global awareness and understandings. Students can then develop a plan of how they can inform others about what they have learned in a creative way. Student/School Performances or Presentations, Student Work Narratives, Visual or Fine Arts, Music, or Student Interviews are welcome.
Submissions will be accepted now until the end of the month. Approved submissions will be shared on the NCDPI social media pages, website, and International Education Week Hub on Canvas.

Words of Wisdom from Global Educator Digital Badge Earners
The Global Educator Digital Badge (GEDB) provides an opportunity for educators to focus their professional development on developing their own global context and understanding of how to integrate global education throughout curricula. It also provides the opportunity to build global competency in students.
The Global Ready designations are for schools and districts that have made the development of global competence and global awareness a regular part of their daily work. The process of achieving the recognition requires that schools and districts demonstrate that they are either PREPARED or MODEL according to the Global Ready rubrics.
Each day of International Education Week 2022, we will be highlighting some educators who have earned the NCDPI Global Educator Digital Badge (GEDB) on Twitter. The earners will be sharing their thoughts on the benefits of getting the badge and how it has impacted their teaching.
For more information on the Badge (SBE Policy, FAQs, Process Flyer, Implementation Guide, MOA), please visit the website or contact NCGlobalEducation@dpi.nc.gov.
A video of the GEDB Earners sharing their words of wisdom can also be viewed using HERE.
