THREAD REPORT:
GLOBAL COMPETENCY AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY The Global Studies Program will Expand into the Center for Global Leadership at AIM Academy Over the past few years, AIM Academy developed the 4 Threads to the Future program. This past year, Amy Cline dedicated a small percentage of her time to growing the Global Studies program, focusing on what it means to be a globally competent school. The goal of the Global Studies Program at AIM Academy is to further develop and enhance the current curriculum by including globally minded scenarios and conversations within many of our classes. An additional goal is to establish a formal community of practice around topics associated with global education, social sustainability and leadership. Like the other three threads, the strives to fulfill the mission of AIM Academy and collaborate with the AIM Institute.
Thread Report:This newsletter will feature examples of projects and programs
that fall under specific threads. This first newsletter is not exhaustive but rather explains a sampling of the globally connected initiatives that have taken place during the 2016-2017 school year at AIM. In the future, we hope to create additional Thread Reports. There are so many incredible units, courses, and programs taking place within and beyond the walls of AIM Academy that we would like to celebrate. See this as a beginning to finding more ways to acknowledge the excellent work faculty are developing for the benefit of student progress and community building. !1
