Global learning academies provide a vibrant professional development program with a global focus in collaboration with international schools and community partners. They exist to systemically infuse global education into Indiana’s pedagogy and curriculum. Global learning academies can be included in an international travel experience, or be conducted on-site at a host school. Paired with an international trip, 45 Professional Growth Points are awarded to an Indiana educator upon successful completion of a Global Learning Academy.
