Inaugural Global Education Insight post

Thank you for visiting this blog. For a long time I've considered creating a forum where news, commentary, thought leadership and first hand accounts around the broad topic of Global Education can take place. 'Global Education Insight' ("GEI") is that forum.


Over the past fifteen years I've been directly involved in global education and have a strong passion for understanding and keeping updated on the various views that exist. My hope is that viewers will find the links, news items, commentary and other information useful in their professional and personal lives.



The content provided in this blog is not meant to support one view of global education over another. Rather it is a place to share and express ideas. There will be posts that some viewers disagree with. The key is to discuss these in a professional manner. Only by embracing multiple views can we reach greater understanding.


Thank you for helping make this blog interesting.
