The Global Studies-21st Century Skills Committee (GS-21) began in 2006 under the auspices of MASS with the following purposes: enhance understanding and appreciation of global education/21st century skills for superintendents and other central office administrators; provide knowledge and enthusiasm among the members to support their leadership in global education/21st century skills; and influence policy in this area at the State level. Each year, GS-21 participants learn about global education/21st century skills through an anchor text, articles, and guest speakers. Additionally, some members travel to countries of educational interest and visit schools, ministries of education, and teacher preparation institutions.
This program is currently revamping itself and hopes to share more information soon.
