World Savvy offers a series of Professional Development sessions throughout the school year. Our professional development workshops are organized as strands that can be implemented over several workshops or can be a stand-alone workshop. Professional development strands include:

Integrating Global Competence into the Classroom

Global Competence and Project-Based Design

Assessment and Feedback for Global Competence

Every three years, World Savvy selects a theme to frame student learning and projects. This approach adds depth and focus to student work, and guarantees that learning is relevant and current. World Savvy’s 2013-16 theme, Population & Progress, helps students explore how a growing population defines progress, analyze the evolving nature of our collective challenges, and develop innovations that address these issues.
