As envisioned by Lynn, The Global Collaborative is an international collective of passionate educators dedicated to igniting innovation in education. Schools look to us because of our deep, practical expertise earned through our on-the-ground experiences as teachers, district leaders, program coordinators, and directors. Our extensive experience in international education builds on a diverse network of global educators with a passion for sparking and sustaining change, connecting schools, and empowering teaching and learning practices.
