World class, for every class
The Global Learning Alliance (GLA) is the outgrowth of our groundbreaking research on the features and practices surrounding 21st century teaching and learning. It evolved from seeds of a research project and is now a consortium of schools and universities around the world dedicated to understanding, defining, applying, and sharing the principles and practices of a world-class education within a wide range of educational contexts.

The advancements of technology have fundamentally changed our relationship with information. How do we interpret this information, and what do we do with it? This is the question that teachers and school leaders struggle with as they attempt to make key concepts relevant to children in a changing world.

We can no longer sustain a 20th century in a 21st century world — and the GLA is committed to cross-cultural research collaborations as an effort to define a pedagogy that takes into account the dynamic needs of our changing world. The task before us is to educate students today for the world they’re poised to lead tomorrow.
