I’m heading to this conference on the gap in quality of global education this October. Should be a great opportunity to learn what others are doing and how we can learn from one another internationally. STEM community is international, global, and STEM culture should reflect that reality. But as we learn from our friends in place-based education, STEM community is also local; relationships begin at home. There’s an interesting tension here we’ve got to learn to manage well. Worth thinking about.
