Join one of our upcoming listening sessions about GLOBE Elementary
Dear GLOBE community,
As we continue our journey toward purchasing and opening GLOBE Elementary, we hope you will take advantage of one of the upcoming opportunities to get your questions answered and provide input on our school’s new home.
Please join representatives from GLOBE's Board of Directors, our Executive Director, and our partners at Freespace Architecture at one of the sessions below:
Thursday, May 11 at 8:30 a.m. at Lower Campus
Please join us at LC’s Village Plaza. In order to allow students to get settled in their classrooms, parents will not be permitted to enter before 8:20. Please submit your questions for this session by May 7.
Wednesday, May 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Upper Campus
Please join us in the UC cafeteria. Please submit your questions for this session by May 14.
Each of these sessions will also be live streamed; links will be provided as the dates approach. Note that teachers and staff will have a separate dedicated session.
There will be opportunities to ask questions in-person, but submitting your questions by the dates indicated above will allow for our partners to answer for greater thoroughness and efficiency. (As you develop your questions, you may wish to revisit the FAQs shared last month.)
We look forward to sharing our progress and answering your questions, hearing your input and connecting with you about the future of GLOBE.
In community,
GLOBE's Board of Directors
Dual Language Immersion Professional Learning Tour
Mrs. Daniel, our Director of Language Program, recently participated in the panel Connecting World Languages Across the Curriculum. Mrs. Daniel shared how GLOBE's innovative language program is paving the way for global citizens, our GLOBE graduates, to join the workforce with their advanced language skills in their years beyond their time at GLOBE. "It's not just about language, it's what you do with language," Mrs. Daniel shared. Our GLOBE students learn to critically think in a language and gain the necessary skills for intercultural competence to contribute to the national and international global workforce that can make a positive impact on society.
Mrs. Daniel also spoke about the Cross Curricular Innovation (CCI) Grant GLOBE received from The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE). Through the CCI Grant, GLOBE high school credit and middle school language teachers are writing integrated lesson plans utilizing the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) for Modern Languages, the Advanced Placement Language and Culture Themes, as well as the GSEs for Science and English Language Arts.
