SBE Task Force on Global Education
In 2011, North Carolina State Board of Education Chairman appointed 5 SBE members to the Task Force on Global Education.
The Task Force was charged to bring, to the full Board, recommendations that would enable a better understanding and appreciation of other countries, languages and cultures by our students.
6 Major Task Force Findings
1. We aren’t preparing students for a global tomorrow; North Carolina is global today.
2. Pilot programs won’t cut it. Preparing globally competent graduates requires a comprehensive approach.
3. To prepare our students for the world, we need to prepare their teachers.
6 Major Task Force Findings
4. North Carolina was once a leader in language learning. It’s time to return to the pole.
5. Schools need peers and partners to move this agenda.
6. If it’s not sustainable, it’s not a strategy.
5 Commitments
1. Robust teacher support and tools; Action Item 1.2
2. Leading-edge language instruction;
3. New school models;
4. District networking and recognition; and
5. Strategic international relationships.
Connection to State Plan
Every public school student will graduate ready for post secondary education and work, prepared to be a globally engaged and productive citizen.
-April, 2014
SBE Vision Statement:
Commitment 1: Robust Teacher Support and Tools
1.2 Implement an SBE-recognized badging process for teachers and administrators to support a professional development system for global content that leads to an endorsement, certificate, or other recognition with market value.
What is a digital badge?
How do we recognize and value the way we learn today? Badges are a new idea to recognize the learning that happens anywhere and share it in the places that matter.

Rubric Structure
The Global-Ready School rubric is comprised of the following elements:
•Overarching Principle
•Attribute (grouped under an Overarching Principle)
•Levels of Achievement (“Prepared” or “Model” required for designation)
•Key Elements (for each Attribute)
•Quality Indicators (for each Level of Achievement per Key Element)
GRS Structure Elements
• Early: There is awareness for school-wide for global education. The school has a few systems and structures in place to support global education and needs to identify and integrate systematic support for these efforts. Limited practices showing little impact on students.
• Developing: The school occasionally implements systems and structures to support global readiness. The school recognizes the need for global connectivity and has some components of global connections. An opportunity exists for refining systems and structures. Inconsistent practices showing some positive impact on students.
• Prepared: The school effectively implements systems and structures (processes) to support global readiness. Many components of global education are embedded school-wide. Sound, well-embedded practices showing positive impact on students.
• Model: The school consistently implements systems and processes to support global readiness. The school is a leader for other schools to replicate or model. Global readiness is embedded in the school’s culture. Well-developed, cutting edge practice showing consistent, high-level student impact.
Levels of Achievement
1. Schools can earn the Global-Ready School (GRS) Designation at either the “Prepared” or “Model” Level of Achievement.
2. To receive GRS designation, schools must also meet the following student achievement requirements in addition to "Prepared" or "Model" on the Global-Ready School rubric:
–Schools must be at or above the state average performance composite for Level 3. Schools will use the state average for their school grade configuration:
•through grade 5
•through grade 8
•through grade 12
–In addition, schools must meet or exceed their expected yearly growth.
These measurements are based on the data from the school year preceding the application year.
Requirements for State Designation
• Review one of the designation rubric Attributes and a Key Element with Quality Indicators on the next slide.
• What evidences would you look want to see if a school indicates that they are at the “Prepared” or “Model” designation?
