Resources for local high school teachers and students:
High School Visits
Global Solutions’ staff are available to go to high schools to discuss current international issues. We also provide visits to area Model United Nations classes/clubs to teach about United Nations history, bodies and procedures, as well as workshops on Model UN participation.
Professional Development Workshops
Global Solutions Pittsburgh offers training workshops for high school teachers that focus on current global issues. The workshops feature expert speakers presenting on a variety of topics and ideas. They are designed to assist you in integrating the themes into your classroom and are approved for Act 48 continuing education credit hours. Each workshop provides background on the issues, reviews teaching methods and resources, and presents activities and learning tools that can be used in your classroom. The workshops are an opportunity to network, to share your global issues teaching experiences, and to discuss ways in which teachers can work together to engage their students. See resources from our previous workshop as well as dates for upcoming sessions
Resource Library
Area teachers are also invited to borrow from the Global Solutions Resource Library. Feel free to e-mail us to inquire about our new acquisitions or to request resources by topic or title. As with the high school visits and the Act 48 workshops, the lending library is free and available to all area teachers. Please contact us to discuss any of our educational programming.
