In partnership with GSU’s College of Education & Human Development and the United Nation’s CTAUN, this conference is an opportunity for teachers and others interested in education to engage with questions of access, equity, and quality education; share innovative classroom practices; and inform school improvement plans.
- The Committee on Teaching About the United Nations focuses on today's most important assignment – teaching our children about a world made increasingly interdependent by globalization. CTAUN exists to provide opportunities for educators to learn, understand and appreciate the work of the U.N., and to incorporate global awareness into curricula and school activities at all levels.
