Liger Leadership Academy are proud to be members of the Global Schools Alliance (GSA) alongside other internationally-recognised schools such as @GreenSchoolBali in Bali and High Tech High in the United States. We were thrilled to host the most recent annual meeting of the GSA.
Cambodia hasn't put an object into space...until now! 5 of our students hope to launch their nanosatellite LigerSAT, and inspire a generation of Cambodian students about space. Pledge to their Kickstarter now! kickstarter.com/projects/liger… Elon Musk Rocket Lab SpaceX NASA JAXA(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency)
Liger recently hosted educators from fellow Global Schools Alliance member Vega Schools in India to sit in on classes, observe projects, meet with education staff, and share stories on life at Vega and in India.
I have to say that talking with Jeff Holte from Liger Leadership Academy has been totally enlightening! Our discussion: how do we serve communities at home and abroad with excellent educational opportunities that don't promote our own cultures, but allow them to make change in their own?
Things I’ve been inspired by at the GlobalSchoolAlliance meetup: 1) Open learning space at @FreemansbayScho & Stonefields School. 2) Epic #PBL projects Liger Leadership Academy (books read by millions!) 3)Community services provided by Hilltop Road PS (swim lessons, job training, etc for parents)
This pushed my #PBL thinking so much further! Liger Leadership Academy talking about the 400 page textbook his 60+ middle school students wrote, photographed, laid out, collected data for, published, then raised $10K to distribute across Cambodia. As Natalie See says, “that’s next level”
Great turnout tonight Auckland for our spontaneous GlobalSchoolAlliance micro pop-up conference. Thanks to each and every one of you for joining us! 🙏🏻 Wish we’d had even more time to talk and dive deeper together. #edchat #willbeback #autens
A lot of the GlobalSchoolAlliance schools focus on the UN sustainable development goals for the #PBL units. These are really compelling goals that could motivate authentic learning. un.org/sustainabledev…
