Drawing on years of research, collaboration, and the collective expertise of member schools, Institute for Global Learning has identified six key areas that serve as benchmarks for effective global education practice:

• Vision and Purpose
• Governance and Leadership
• Teaching and Learning
• Stakeholder Communications
• Program Management
• Risk Management

This updated Guide offers an overview of each standard, along with examples of how member schools are putting these principles into practice. The current edition reflects the evolving landscape of global education, incorporating emerging priorities, innovative approaches, and lessons learned from member schools.

The Institute for Global Learning Global Education Standards provide a framework that characterizes model global education programs and professional practice. Schools may use the standards to develop new programs, assess and improve existing initiatives, design professional learning opportunities, and communicate their guiding principles and practices to stakeholders.

This essential resource can support schools in developing, reviewing, refining, or enhancing their global programs.
