关于我们

World Savvy prepares the next generation of leaders to learn, work and thrive as responsible global citizens in the 21st century. We support systemic change in K-12 education to provide every student in every classroom with the content knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to be leaders and changemakers in their diverse communities, locally and globally. World Savvy was founded in 2002 by Dana Mortenson and Madiha Murshed in response to a critical need for youth to acquire global knowledge and 21st century skills within the conspicuous absence of global education programs in K-12 education in the United States. Since that time, we have grown from serving 90 students and 20 teachers in our first year, to reaching nearly 700,000 youth and 5,000 teachers. This growing need for true global competency in our increasingly diverse and interconnected local & global communities has helped to propel World Savvy into a national leader in global education. Our dynamic programs and services help youth in middle and high school learn how to think rather than what to think about critical global and community issues, which are often complex and not addressed in school, and have enormous implications for their local community.

    Director of Outreach & Engagement | Driving Global Competence in K-12

    Greetings! I hope everyone is hanging in there amidst all that is happening in our local neighborhoods, the country, and global community right now. I imagine the schools and businesses you are leading may feel particularly divided as we head into 2025. I've been a part of a number of conversations about how to organize and stay grounded as we move forward into the unknown. I wanted to broadcast some ways?World Savvy?thinks about this work in schools now and in the future, and also included a call to action: Many of us share concerns regarding news sources and the validity of the information found online. While it is exciting and empowering to have unfettered access to so much information, the dangerous counterpart is the rise of misinformation and disinformation. According to a study by MIT, "Fake news" – defined by the researchers as stories debunked by six major fact-checking services – can spread 10 times faster than anything legitimate. Shockingly, when a story is proven false, the correction, if there is one, never spreads at the same rate. ?? World Savvy is a national education nonprofit that works to help communities tackle these concerns together to reimagine learning for the 21st century. Our work creates future-ready classrooms where young people develop the skills and dispositions to succeed in a rapidly changing world. An example in action is our?Changemaker Hubs, which are day-long learning experiences exploring not only what it means to be an active and engaged citizen, but how to navigate this onslaught of information to make the best decisions for ourselves and our communities. I welcome the chance to dive deeper and answer any questions you may have. If you feel inclined to support this work during our fall campaign, I've also included a link to donate below. The power of NOW is in our hands! https://lnkd.in/g2pgeXJp #PowerofNOW #ThrivingDemocracy #globalcompetence #changemaker #worldsavvy

    How can global competence transform a math classroom? Ask John Mitsch from St. Anthony Middle School! “I’ve integrated key competencies into my 6th-grade math classroom, enhancing learning and life skills. These include: ?Sharing knowledge and encouraging discourse ?Committing to continuous learning and reflection ?Listening actively and engaging in inclusive dialogue ?Engaging willingly and openly with others With my World Savvy coach's guidance, my students work in groups to solve problems, emphasizing collaboration and active listening. This not only deepens their understanding of math but also prepares them to navigate middle school and beyond with confidence and empathy.”

    Students are both capable of leading today and shaping a better tomorrow. This is exemplified at our Comprehensive School Partner, Hopkins Public Schools, where we’re helping bring the Hopkins Scholar Profile to life. Our coaches are supporting 16 dedicated educators (including two proud Hopkins High School graduates!) and have observed classes ranging from English Language Arts to World History to English as a Second Language to better align teaching with the Hopkins Scholar Profile — a key part of Hopkins Vision 2031. Critical thinking, collaboration, empathy, and adaptability are core traits of a Hopkins Scholar — values that mirror the competencies we cultivate through our Global Competence Matrix.

    We’re proud to partner with schools like Farmington Area Public Schools, ISD 192 in Minnesota where our work shapes real change. Working with district leaders and administrators, we are sparking new conversations and sharing tactics to navigate the current context of supporting students and teachers. Educators and staff are learning and thriving from this fresh approach. From professional development to hands-on projects, we're helping educators build classrooms that foster curiosity, empathy, and global competence, thanks to our amazing donors and school partners!

Let’s work together to ensure that today’s youth are ready to shape tomorrow’s world. Stay tuned for more on how we can build a thriving democracy together! #ThrivingDemocracy #WorldSavvy #CivicEngagement #EducationForChange

    The best part of what I do is getting to see these communities come together to not just dream of new, innovative, and relevant ways to teach & learn, but to put those dreams to action. It’s what students and educators are craving all over the country, and World Savvy helps us get there. ??
