The phrases, "A picture says a thousand words" and "you will know it when you see it" can be said to describe global education.  Global education is a dynamic field of education, which strives to incorporate skills needed to be successful in an ever changing world.  Global education is anchored in well-defined global competencies dipicted in the graphic to the right from the Asian Society.

Global Education goes beyond instilling twenty-first century skills; it provides a platform for active authentic learning as students use these skills to solve world problems in novel ways.
