Global CTE Toolkit: Projects, Videos, Resources, and More
Career and technical education (CTE) teachers need to not only teach the technical and academic skills needed for their content area, they also need to teach students 21st century skills that will make them successful working in a global marketplace. Therefore, a substantive understanding of how local issues relate to global challenges is the foundation of global competence and is required in all career pathways.
Specifically, globally competent students are able to:
- Investigate the World. Students ask and explore questions that are globally significant.
- Weigh Perspectives. Students recognize they have a unique perspective and that others may not share it, but they are able to respect all perspectives and create a new point of view.
- Communicate Ideas. Students can effectively communicate, verbally and non-verbally, with diverse groups.
- Take Action. Student can weigh options for action based on evidence and insight, see the potential consequences, then act and reflect on their actions.
While it is important to examine the four capacities above individually, global competence is best seen as an integrated outlook on the world—not a collection of independent skills.
These skills are required and highly desirable when considering the Arts, A/V Technology, and Communications pathway and there are a wide range of applications within it. We are reminded that communicating - whether through art, technology, or information delivery - unites our world. This reality requires a deep understanding of the global nature of this field for those who choose specialize in it.

Standards, Crosswalks, and Rubrics
The Common Career Technical Core is a common set of CTE standards created for each of Advance CTE’s 16 Career Cluster areas. This document crosswalks the Arts, A/V Technology, and Communications cluster with the four domains of global competence, demonstrating the clear alignment between global education and careers in this field. This crosswalk is also filled with ideas of global projects that can support the standards taught in each of the career pathways.
