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.”
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.

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.

Program Coordinator at World Savvy - Driving Global Competence & 21st Century Learning in K12 education, and preparing young people to be engaged citizens in an everchanging world.
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. ??
At World Savvy, we are committed to our mission of equipping young people with the tools to engage thoughtfully, think critically, and collaborate across divides. World Savvy’s Changemaker Hubs are one way we benefit all students and foster student readiness to engage in real-world issues affecting their community and the world. ??Changemaker Hubs are day-long learning experiences that are designed to unleash youth and educator civic participation in their communities. The Changemaker Hub experience allows students to engage across differences to think critically and creatively about issues relevant to them. This year, World Savvy hosted three Changemaker Hubs in communities in Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, reaching 300 students across 34 schools and districts. We can’t wait to expand our Changemaker Hubs to communities across California, Colorado, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, New York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania to ensure students are prepared for social engagement in a multi-ethnic democracy. ??Support our work: https://buff.ly/3YvbxdO
