About our School-Wide Development & Consultancy Opportunities
According to Harvard Professor Dr. Fernando Reimers, “Global Competence (GC) is the set of knowledge, skills, mindsets, and values needed to thrive in a diverse, globalized society. In essence GC is the toolbox that equips students to reach their career aspirations in a globally connected economy… Therefore it should not be treated as an “add-on” – limited to an elective course in which a handful of students enroll…but integrated into the existing courses to which all students are exposed throughout the year.”
One World has worked with Dr. Reimers over the course of the last several years adapting his 13 step protocol to helping schools become globally competent turning that process into a 5 step global competence action plan.
"One World helps teachers address real life problems that affect our community and the world. "

The 5 Step Global Competence Action Plan or GCAP includes the following steps:
- Establish a leadership team
