GLOBAL LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE

We are currently working with a group of Virginia Superintendents called the DaVinci/English Design Team who have developed a charter with the stated purpose of engaging Virginia public school superintendents in crafting a shared vision to ensure that all students graduate prepared to be global leaders.

They are advocating that district superintendents provide leadership to engage key stakeholders in Virginia in shaping a vision of what students will need to know and demonstrate in order to be successful learners, workers, and citizens in the 21st century.

Their work will involve determining a shared understanding of the essential core content and core competencies associated with international benchmarks/21st century skills.

In addition, they are engaging in collective R and D to develop curriculum, pedagogies, formative assessment and teacher and leadership programs essential to teaching and learning.
