" I never would have imagined that we'd be involved in the level of discussion that we achieve on a regular basis, both distant/near in time and space, and simultaneously separated/connected by levels of technology"

"Without a doubt. Whenever I mention and explain it [GSE Online] to friends and colleagues, they are intrigued and fascinated by the idea of the program and its goals"

" I also feel you are more forced (in a positive sense) to be engaged in learning- for me even more so than in a classroom environment- I especially like the forums where you can write reflectively..."

"The program has enhanced many of the ways I see the world, and the way I teach. I bring a much more global emphasis to my teaching of French, and I know that the multicultural population that I teach, especially in the beginning level, appreciate this."

"The GSE program has made a great impact on my practice in a variety of ways. In my American literature classes, I've been able to expand my students'
knowledge of America's place in the new global economy, as well as analyzing
the historical processes that America has undertaken to achieve this
position. In my IB classes, the knowledge I've gained from GSE has led me to
a fuller understanding of the IB program itself, and increased my ability to
comprehend the advantages and caveats of global education systems."- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"I was relieved to discover that the online format is academically rigorous, yet flexible enough to suit my ever changing schedule. I am thrilled to be able to learn and exchange ideas with my colleagues all over the world without leaving my house."
