CIEE Global Educator Summit
Lead Locally, Educate Globally
Every fall, CIEE cordially invites educators to attend our Global Educator Summit. During this free professional development weekend, educators gathered with a group of passionate teachers and administrators from across the U.S. to discuss best practices in global education and study abroad, gaining actionable insights to cultivate a more global culture at their schools.
The Global Educator Summit provided an amazing opportunity for educators to broaden their horizons and professional network, returning energized with fresh resources for their schools and classrooms. All participants received a Certificate of Completion* to claim up to 10 hours of Professional Development credit in their district (*subject to school/district approval).
This event is "by invitation only" and free of charge for invitees. CIEE covered the cost of flight, hotel, activities, and group meals.
