As the author working with individuals living in various parts of the country, the Global Teach Connect contributors appreciate the global contributors who initiated and reviewed the design for this resource and are connected to the  this project.

In our teaching and learning, we aspire to invite and support good hearts and good minds from teachers, educators, leaders, students and global partners worldwide.

We truly acknowledge those educators from countries who speak least commonly taught languages and who are dispossessed and dislocated across the lands that disadvantages their learners  and teachers due to distance and economics.

Here in the United States our teachers are facing growing diversity in our classroom but not within our teacher preparations systems or curriculum. Therefore,  we must listen actively to peoples from other countries and cultures and learn how we might honor all our relations educational need to create a more just and equitable globalized learning environments, open education, and accessible resources.

Enjoy the journey, explore and learn with us!
