A rapidly changing workforce and increasing complexity demand a shift in how we prepare students for the future and how we support educators to better guide their students. The World Economic Forum states that the labor market values “uniquely human skills” such as critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. Schools must be dynamic spaces where students become problem-solvers and engaged citizens, guided by educators who foster inclusive learning environments.
Elevate Student Choice and Agency
When students take ownership of their learning, they develop confidence, critical thinking, and leadership. At Ella Baker Global Studies and Humanities School, 4th graders reimagined their playground with World Savvy coaching. They interviewed classmates, including those with disabilities, to design a more inclusive space, transforming a treehouse into a ground-level playhouse. This student-led project fostered empathy and problem-solving.
Enhance Relevance in Learning
Connecting classroom content to real-world experiences makes learning meaningful. At Hanger Hall in North Carolina, students explored financial literacy through an inquiry-based project called Myself at 30. Using math, they projected future expenses and careers, demonstrating the practical applications of their education. Seeing learning’s impact fosters purpose and preparedness.
Boost Educator Skills
Supporting educators is key. Superintendent Jason Berg emphasizes, “World Savvy helps build the internal capacity to think beyond today and co-create a future with staff.” In Farmington Schools, this approach has sparked innovation, inspiring educators to integrate future-ready skills.
By empowering students and educators, we foster adaptability and curiosity—ensuring the next generation is ready to lead. World Savvy helps schools develop global competence, embedding essential skills into curriculum and culture. Learn more at www.worldsavvy.org.
