As a small and agile non-profit with a small dedicated staff and a large collaborative network of advisors, partners and associates. We work with people who truly believe in concepts such as children are our future, the power of making choices that lead to positive outcomes, and that it is a priority to actively consider issues of sustainability in our daily lives. Sharing this dream with others energizes us.
Global Source was founded by teachers and has always worked on behalf of teachers.We collaborate on an ongoing basis with a network of educational institutions and professional organizations such as: Antioch University Seattle, University of Washington, OSPI, Washington State Council for Social Studies, and public school districts such as Seattle Public Schools and North Kitsap School District. We leverage the skills of our professional staff by working with a network of professional organizations and experts in our core initiatives.
We're grateful to be working with a network of so many accomplished professionals who bring their enthusiasm for enriching educational
practices that contribute to the vitality of community and promote more engaged learning.
