This initiative is a joint effort of the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of State.
This year IEW will be November 18-22, 2024. In addition to a Professional Development Day on November 9, an array of opportunities and activities have been planned by the NCDPI Global Education Steering Committee to inform our stakeholders about how NC educators and students are globally aware and competent, so be sure to connect with NC Global Education on Twitter/X and sign up to receive the newsletter.

Saturday, November 9, 2024 from 10:00 AM- 3:30 PM
FedEx Global Education Center, 301 Pittsboro Street, Chapel Hill, NC
As we engage, educate, and empower the young people of North Carolina, how do we learn from other examples from around the world? What does engagement look like across cultures? What role does education play in making a more robust, peaceful, and prosperous global community?
North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and the Area Studies Centers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University are thrilled to offer an incredible professional development opportunity as part of International Education Week (IEW) that is designed to enhance your global understanding and perspective and tackle these big questions with examples from culture, music, art, language, science, history, and other disciplines.
The focus of this year's event is "Engage, Educate, Empower: Elevating K-12 Learning through Global Perspectives". Expert speakers from UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University, and beyond have been lined up to unpack a variety of captivating topics and case studies from Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
The aim of this professional development is to equip K-12 educators with innovative global education-related teaching materials and strategies that can be adapted to different K-12 subjects while aligning with North Carolina standards.
This workshop is for ALL educators, regardless of your content area or grade level. Educators who attend the in-person workshop on November 9 can earn 0.5 CEUs.
