GLOBE (Guided Learning Through Our Built Environment)
The Salvadori Center’s GLOBE program (Guided Learning Through Our Built Environment) is a three-year partnership between the Center and selected New York City public schools.
Salvadori educators bring a rigorous, enjoyable, project-based curriculum to each selected school, by using the built environment to improve students’ knowledge of math, science, art, language, social studies, and technology.
To apply to be a GLOBE school, download the application and follow the instructions. It is done as a Word document with tables. The deadline is March 26, 2010.
