Why Globalize?
* To meet the demand for an internationally
competent workforce.
* To access good jobs that will require new skills and
competencies.
*To increase knowledge of other world regions,
cultures, and languages to solve new national and
human issues.
* To answer the challenge of increased diversity in our
nation’s classrooms, workplaces and communities.
Globalization and the New Teacher Evaluation
Instrument
Teachers work collaboratively with the families and
significant adults in the lives of their students.
Teachers recognize the interconnectedness of
content areas/disciplines.
Teachers make instruction relevant to students.
Teachers embrace diversity in the school
community and the world.
Defining Global Education
Global education prepares young people to
understand and interact within a culturally diverse
and globally interconnected world.

Planting the Seeds Towards Global
Mindedness . . .
Reading – include texts from many
cultures
Math – tell the story of numbers
through history/feature global
problem-solving
Science – celebrate contributions
from all cultures
Social Studies – emphasize global
connections
Character Education – promote
student generated ways to serve
at home and abroad

Did you know that tree frogs use
GEOMETRY?
“The ability to stick to smooth objects and detach when needed
is a perpetual game of geometry for tree frogs, which repeatedly
adjust the angle of their toes with respect to the surface.
White’s tree frogs — originating in Australia and Indonesia and
capable of growing to almost 5 inches — maintain their grip on
surfaces by keeping the angles of their toe pads below 90
degrees according to a 2007 study.”
WHAT TYPE OF ANGLE IS BELOW 90 DEGREES?
Reference: Goudarzi, S. (2007, April 9). Tree frogs use geometry to hang on. Retrieved January 24, 2011, from

Now it’s your turn…
You are a herpetologist and you have discovered a new
type of tree frog. To share your discovery, you will need
to create a model and demonstrate how your frog
jumps. You will need to trace the path your frog takes
and determine if your tree frog is similar to the White’s
tree frog – does it jump in acute, obtuse, right, or
straight angles? First, let’s make your model!
Make your tree frog
 Have Ms. E pass out colored index cards (they are in
my desk drawer)
 Each person will also need a piece of plain paper, a
piece of notebook paper, a pencil, and a protractor
(protractors are on my desk).
 Watch Mrs. Dalimonte and follow along!

To Complete Your Task:
 Complete a chart on your notebook paper.
 Give your tree frog a name.
 Decide where in the world your tree frog calls home.
 Present your frog and explain the path hopped.

If frog flips over, start him back at the last line drawn. Line is drawn from the “back
legs” of the frog. Remember denominator will be total number of jumps.
Don’t forget to compare your findings to the White’s Tree Frog!
