Our Approach
How can we grow all students holistically so they can shape a better future?
"We bring together people and organizations around the world to make progress towards a shared learning agenda guided by these questions and its implications in classrooms, schools, and systems globally."
UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE
Our Theory of Change
Learning Across Borders
The Global Institute engages practitioners in learning together across borders about how to advance students' holistic development
Generating New Evidence
And the shared inquiry also generates new evidence about how to shift classrooms, schools, and systems, to enable these insights to spread widely
Multiplier Effect
This contributes to the orientation, mindsets, and beliefs of practitioners, who have a multiplier effect in their communities
Anchoring our agenda on 3 learning questions
What is happening in classrooms where students are developing holistically?
What distinguishes classrooms that support students' holistic development—and how do they think, act, and measure success?
What is happening in places where collective leadership is developing towards system change?
What defines collective leadership that drives systems change—and how can we understand and measure its impact?
How can we develop collective leadership to shift classrooms and systems?
What individual and collective capacities are needed? What learning conditions, experiences, and orientation shifts enable the development of people throughout the ecosystem—and how can we measure that progress?
