The Inspire Citizens’ Global Citizenship Certificate is a hybrid, 19-module, 3-course deep-dive into how educators and leaders in schools can co-create learning experiences that:
- Integrate Futures Trends and Thinking for Education for flexible strategic visioning and global citizenship in a complex and uncertain world
- Support all community members in developing an Ego to Eco mindset grounded in inner and outer peace, joy, and sustainability
- Apply a Heart, Head, Hands philosophy, an Empathy to Impact pedagogy, and a Civic Literacies toolkit in diverse and dynamic student-centered learning.
At the forefront of Education for Global Citizenship, Inspire Citizens and International School Services recognize that our schools, classrooms, and learners are inextricably and powerfully connected as global citizens, and that we need resources for and the time to practice how to bring environmental, economic, social, technological, mindful, and meaningful, action-driven experiences to our learners. Through this Masters program, we will engage in brave dialogue, immediately practice with a range of tools and resources, amplify our local community partnerships, build our global network, and empower our learners to work together to shape a healthier, happier, and restorative future for ourselves, society, and the planet.
Each course in the Global Citizenship Certificate is a must for anyone that is:
A classroom educator that seeks ways to bring greater compassion, connection, understanding, action, and inner and outer sustainability into the classroom.
A curriculum, sustainability, or service learning coordinator that is trying to help their school’s vision and mission for student agency and global citizenship come to life through highly engaging, student-centered learning experiences.
A technology & innovation coach or librarian who leads or collaborates on projects with teachers that enhance literacies such as data, transmedia, information, futures thinking, and generative co-creation.
A school counselor who is working to spark mentoring experiences that center on compassion, connection, understanding, and action within ourselves and in our relationship with others and the planet.
A future-focused administrator who is exploring proof-of-concept in building a culture of engaged global citizenship as a through-line for any and all school-wide initiatives or professional learning communities.
