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.

CAN YOU TEACH CREATIVITY?
The biggest need we anticipate for future success is the ability to use information to innovate and solve complex problems. That takes creativity.

The Center for Professional Education of Teachers (CPET) at Teachers College, Columbia University is devoted to advancing global capacities in teacher education, research, and whole school reform. CPET advocates for excellence and equity in education through direct service to youth and educators, innovative school projects, international research that examines and advocates the highest quality instructional and assessment practices today, and sustainable school partnerships that leverage current policy and mandates to raise literacy levels and embed collaborative communities of learning. Uniting theory and practice, CPET promotes rigorous and relevant scholarship and is committed to making excellent education accessible worldwide.
