Hey Everyone! I want to introduce myself and the Asia Society Partnership for Global Learning!

The next generation of high school graduates will be prepared for, or will be passed by, in a sweeping new era of global interdependence. There is an urgent need for new approaches to education to meet new demands. Asia Society’s vision is that all students will graduate high school ready for college and competent to compete, communicate and cooperate in a global environment.

To reach this vision, Asia Society has formed the Partnership for Global Learning. A membership network created to support a national movement of all K-12 stakeholders – educators, policymakers, universities, parents and individuals – the Partnership is working to develop students who are prepared for work and citizenship in the global 21st century. The Partnership provides:
 Opportunities to share best practices, resources, and models to stimulate new approaches through annual conferences, monthly e-newsletters, and collaborative learning activities
 Resources including curriculum products and tools, online programming and professional development for districts, schools and after school programs
 Policy Initiatives to address the need for public policies and actions at the state and national level
 Collaborations between U.S. and Asian schools and educators and opportunities to learn from best practice around the world
 Communication through publications, presentations and digital media
 Research and Development of new internationally focused schools and approaches to integrating rigorous global learning in existing schools

We're also hosting our Second Annual Conference, "Putting the World into World-Class Education" on July 9-11th in the Washington, D.C. Metro Area! www.asiasociety.org/forum

Chantal Bonitto
