Organizations Filed Purposes: World Savvy educates and engages youth to learn, work, and thrive as responsible global citizens.

World Savvy Classrooms is a signature program designed to integrate global competence education into the classroom, and make it accessible to all students by providing them with diverse cultural and experiential learning opportunities. Through the World Savvy Classrooms program, teachers receive professional development and ongoing coaching to engage their students in inquiry and project-based learning. They integrate global learning into curriculum and instruction across all disciplines, giving students ownership over the subjects they explore, help them make local to global connections, and see themselves as innovators and problem solvers. The Classrooms program is aligned with and supports Common Core State Standards, ensuring that students learn and required core content mandated by state and national standards, in a way that establishes real world connections to the material. Students in World Savvy Classrooms study issues related to a global theme such as population and progress, then identify a specific issue, develop solutions to address the root causes of that issue, then create presentations in original artwork or other forms of media to showcase at a culminating Festival in the spring. Students also develop a Knowledge-to-Action plan that demonstrates their innovative thinking and creativity, and outlines how they propose to personally impact the issue. Knowledge-to-Action (K2A) is an integral component of the World Savvy learning model and all students have the chance to compete for funding to implement their plan at the community, national, or global level. In Fiscal Year 2018, we worked with more than 35 teachers nationwide, who in turn served more than 1,850 students.
