What is TGC?

Teachers for Global Classrooms (TGC) is a program that is sponsored by the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.  It aims to provide ideas, resources, and practices to improve competencies in global education.  This program is a year-long commitment that requires rigorous course work and and a travel component lasting several weeks.  
In 2014, I was selected as a TGC Fellow, and upon successful completion of the course work I was placed in the cohort traveling to Morocco.  Other fellows were assigned to cohorts traveling to India, Brazil, the Republic of Georgia, the Philippines, and Uganda.
After the field experience abroad, a capstone project is required that will allow us to share our ideas, resources, and lessons to help build a strong foundation in global education for our students, our peers, and our community.
