Excerpts from the Mission of the Longview Foundation for World Affairs

and International Understanding

• Eliminating global poverty, solving international conflicts, working in new markets, and addressing global health and environmental problems require international knowledge and cooperation.

• In our increasingly diverse communities in the United States, knowledge of other cultures is essential to strengthening our own democracy.

The UM GATE Fellows Agree!

Page 22: Mcginnis TeacherPrep

Possible Futures

• As GATE FELLOWS, we want to continue learning and to share what we know

• We plan to be leaders and catalysts in internationalizing teacher education

• We want to connect our efforts to the internationalizing of the entire campus (see new Strategic Plan)

Page 23: Mcginnis TeacherPrep

Possible Futures• Examples of possible follow-up projects

mentioned by some of our GATE Fellows:– Increasing the number of internationalized teacher

education courses in the College

– Leading international study tours for faculty and administrators

– Conducting summer and winter term courses overseas for teacher candidates (example: taking teacher candidates to visit schools and assist in short-term teaching in China)

– Researching the internationalizing process
