Nov. 24, 2015 – Dr. Brian Williams, CH-UH’s Coordinator of Alternative Programming at the Delisle Educational Options Center, recently spoke at the Global Education Forum in Philadelphia.
The Global Education Forum, co-sponsored by Asia Society and Penn GSE, was held on October 16-17, 2015 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The conference was an opportunity to engage in a critical conversation between K–12 and higher education educators about how best to prepare students for a global world. By attracting educators from around the world to discuss best practices, promising programs and research, the Global Education Forum highlighted the importance of learning with and from different education systems to help inform our own practice.
At the beginning of second semester, Dr. Williams and three seniors will travel to London, England to spend a week at the Evelyn Grace Academy in Brixton, South London.
The students will participate in panel discussions, reflective journaling and cultural tours.
