for a series of forums on civic teaching as a core principle in education
The mission of the George Washington University Graduate School of Education and Human Development is to develop informed and skilled leaders through innovative teaching and learning. The school seeks to engage in scholarly inquiry that raises the level of academic excellence by enriching theory, policy, and practice across the life span and to promote leadership, diversity, learning, and human development reflective of changing global societies. This grant will support the development of more civic education content into teacher preparation programs and a series of forums on civic teaching in education. (Substrategy: Educator Capacity)
for a project to support a more representative American foreign policy
The Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University hosts the Generations Dialogue Project, which aims to increase the number of underrepresented youth who pursue and succeed in American foreign policy careers by connecting young people with individuals who blazed a trail in American foreign policy and international affairs. The grant seeks to increase the number of participating high school students who pursue university study related to international affairs; increase the number of participating undergraduate students who pursue graduate study related to international affairs; create for all participants an informational and support network for careers in international affairs; and demonstrate a model for generating pipelines of underrepresented groups and supporting them to undertake successful American foreign policy careers. This grant will also support a seminar series on the effect of localization on academics and students studying U.S. foreign policy and their potential to shape international development decisions in the Global South.
