Introduction and Overview (Powerpoint Presentation: Barry)

A. What is a GLOBE Learning Community?
- definition and spectrum
- how distinguished from other types of partner and school activity
- explanation of variety, diversity of GLCs

B. Toolkit Content
- provide models, i.e. from pilot sites
- share resources, i.e. info in appendices
- explain how GLCs can address many common partner issues

7:30-8:15 pm
Networking Activity

A. Participants will break into small groups to discuss:
-Ways their GLOBE partnership has worked with community organizations to support teachers and students.
-What strategies have been most successful in forming a GLC and what plans do they have for the future.
-Feedback on the content of the toolkit, is there any information they would find useful that isn't currently included?
-Ideas for future GLC networking workshops
