This new publication sets forward the PISA framework for global competence developed by OECD, which aligns closely with the definition developed by the Center for Global Education. Based on the Center’s extensive experience supporting educators in integrating global competence into their teaching, the publication also provides practical guidance and examples of how educators can embed global competence into their existing curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
