This is a website for educators to help infuse global perspectives into your classroom. The tips and information given is a collection of my experience and resources. Since many people have asked for classroom resources and grant information, I have decided to put it all in one place.
This is a working website that I will be adding information and resources.
Please let me know if you have any requests for information. I am happy to help. My philosophy is that we are all trying to help kids learn so lets work together to give students the best learning experience we can.
