Global Learning Models: Revolutionizing High School Education
Global Learning Models is a leading provider of inquiry and project-based high school curriculum that inspires, prepares, and connects students and educators in real-world contexts. The company has been at the forefront of educational innovation for over a decade, offering cutting-edge programs that empower students to become lifelong learners and responsible global citizens.
At Global Learning Models, we believe that education should be more than just memorization and regurgitation of facts. Our approach is based on the principles of inquiry-based learning, which encourages students to ask questions, explore ideas, and develop critical thinking skills. By engaging in hands-on projects that are relevant to their lives and communities, students gain a deeper understanding of the world around them and learn how to apply their knowledge in practical ways.
Our curriculum is designed to meet the needs of today's high school students who are preparing for an increasingly complex global society. We offer courses in a wide range of subjects including science, technology, engineering, arts & design (STEAM), social studies/history/civics/government/economics (SS/HCGE), language arts/English/language acquisition (LA/ELA/LA), mathematics/statistics/data analysis (M/SDA), health/physical education/nutrition/wellness/safety (H/PEN/W/S) as well as electives such as music/art/drama/journalism/yearbook/yearbook production/business/marketing/law enforcement/criminal justice/human services/family & consumer sciences/agriculture/science research/internship/apprenticeship/service learning/global citizenship.
Our courses are aligned with state standards but go beyond them by incorporating real-world scenarios into our lessons. For example:
- In our STEAM courses such as robotics or environmental science classes we teach about renewable energy sources like solar panels or wind turbines.
- In our SS/HCGE classes such as civics or economics we teach about the role of government in promoting economic growth and social justice.
- In our LA/ELA/LA classes such as creative writing or journalism we teach about the power of storytelling to inspire change and promote empathy.
- In our M/SDA classes such as statistics or data analysis we teach about how data can be used to make informed decisions in business, healthcare, and other fields.
Our curriculum is also designed to be flexible so that it can adapt to the needs of individual students. We offer a variety of learning pathways including online courses, blended learning models (combining online and face-to-face instruction), project-based learning experiences, internships/apprenticeships/service-learning opportunities, global citizenship programs (including study abroad options), and more.
At Global Learning Models, we believe that education is not just about acquiring knowledge but also about developing character. That's why we emphasize the importance of social-emotional learning (SEL) in all our courses. We teach students how to communicate effectively with others, work collaboratively on projects, manage their emotions and stress levels effectively through mindfulness practices like yoga or meditation.
We also provide professional development opportunities for educators who want to learn more about inquiry-based teaching methods. Our workshops cover topics such as project design & management skills; assessment strategies; technology integration; cultural competency & diversity awareness training; SEL implementation strategies; STEAM integration into core subjects like math/science/social studies/language arts etc.; global citizenship education best practices etc.
In conclusion, Global Learning Models is a company that is revolutionizing high school education by offering innovative curriculum solutions that prepare students for success in today's complex world. Our approach emphasizes inquiry-based learning methods combined with real-world scenarios that help students develop critical thinking skills while gaining practical experience applying their knowledge. With flexible pathways tailored to meet individual student needs along with professional development opportunities for educators who want to learn more about inquiry-based teaching methods - Global Learning Models truly stands out as a leader in the field of high school education.
