If you find yourself teaching or interacting with students in a global setting, this is the course for you! It was recently developed by an educator with over 33 years of educational leadership in a global setting. It is being offered for the first time at BGU in the January 2025 term.

This course was designed to expose you to the most prevalent and impactful issues in global educational leadership from across the globe. The specific issues and challenges are current and will change with each course offering to keep pace with the growing and ever-changing global educational leadership field. It will examine the contemporary issues and challenges that transformational education leaders face in the global education field at all levels to develop solutions and effective responses for Christian educators. Consideration will be given to the linkage between education, poverty, and social mobility.

During the course, students will present their respective challenges while fellow classmates will work on a consolidated recommendation to address the challenge. The exchange of information will create a community of global learners with a cross-cultural perspective and respect for the differences in challenges from the varied educational levels and global environments.

This course is part of the Educational Leadership track for the DTL and can be taken as an elective for any of the BGU degree programs. Please contact your Academic Advisor to register and Dr. Paulette Jordan (paulette.jordan@bgu.edu), DTL Program Director, with any other questions.
