Deanna and Marcia shared some of their global education resources relevant to Pennsylvania standards and competencies. Participants, learned about the location of these resources on PDE’s SAS site and on the PACIE website, and how to navigate the online repository. They also considered the many ways you can use them to make your lessons more global in nature, using this handout.
